Hello! My name's Kyle and I'm a third-year medical student at the University of Hong Kong. I'll also be pursuing my Master's degree in research during my enrichment year, focusing on my Laidlaw project and hopefully making some inroads to something I've been working on since last year. My project is about the potential of certain types of gut microbiota as a clinical intervention to hypertension, which will be split into two separate clinical trials over the following academic year. On the side, I'm also working on some ideas regarding the correlation between gut microbiome composition and carotid IMT thickness, which will hopefully help explain certain mechanisms behind the causation and correlation between the gut and occurrence of atherosclerosis. Please reach out if you are interested in neurology, volunteering in medical capacities or the Capo Verde national football team.

Cheers!
