Prof. Tse is the Chairman and Professor in the Department of Anatomical and Cellular Pathology. He is also the Honorary Chief of Service of the Departments of Pathology of Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital and North District Hospital. A pathologist by training, he has active interests in breast histologic, cytologic and molecular pathology. His research focuses on the evaluation of prognostic factors in breast cancers, molecular classification of breast disease, understanding molecular basis in morphological features and their application for clinical decision in routine management. For classification of breast diseases, he is particularly interested in the diagnosis of fibroepithelial lesions and papillary lesions in the breast. Prof Tse is widely engaged in local and overseas professional bodies, including ICCR dataset in breast pathology, the TCGA breast group external pathology committee, and WHO breast tumor classification. He is active in organizing educational activities and is the current president of the International Academy of Pathology, Hong Kong division; Vice President for Asia for the International Academy of Pathology; and on the Board of Directors of the International Academy of Cytology. He also serves as editors and editorial board members of various journals, including Histopathology, EBioMedicine, Modern Pathology, Cancer Cytopathology and advisors for various funding agencies and NGOs.
