A Distinguished Scholar in Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy and Innovative Medical Education
Benjamin Yee read psychology at University College London and completed his doctoral study in the Department of Experimental Psychology, Oxford. His early research utilized brain lesions in rats to dissect the contribution of the hippocampus and adjoining entorhinal cortex in memory and a form of learned inattention relevant to the attentional deficit in schizophrenia. After postdoctoral training in Oxford and Zürich (ETH), he assumed the post of research fellow in Hong Kong University, where he continued preclinical research and collaborated in psychological experiments with schizophrenia patients. Subsequently, he returned to the ETH Zürich and worked for over a decade as a senior scientist and a group leader. During this period, his expanded his research in neuropsychopharmacology with the advent of novel molecular manipulations targeting the GABA-A receptor and the glycine reuptake system at NMDA receptors. In the same period, the maternal immune activation model of schizophrenia was established as a means to study relevant early etiological processes. Next, he established a behavioural laboratory at Legacy Research Institute in Portland, Oregon, before joining the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences in PolyU four years ago. Since, he has been exploring opportunities to integrate neuroscience and psychology into the teaching and research of rehabilitation.
