Professor Ho T.H. Rainbow
(University of Hong Kong)
"Working on interdisciplinary research across the fields of arts, humanities, biomedical and social sciences is always my passion. My current research works focus on understanding the psychophysiological mechanisms and effects of psychosocial interventions for improving people's health and well-being. I am also interested in the social, humanistic and spiritual impacts of creative and expressive arts, physical activity, and traditional mind-body exercises in therapeutic and educational context for the betterment of human lives as well as serving as preventive strategy for mental and physical illnesses. My research works on developing biomarkers (salivary cortisol, telomerase, HRV etc.), and integrating expressive arts therapy and social work practices for diverse populations are recognized as highly original and cutting-edge in the areas of healthcare, psychology, social work and behavioural sciences. My teaching and knowledge exchanges activities also build around the topics related to the sciences and arts of human services." socialwork.hku.hk/rainbowho
