He has been interested in archaeology and the classics since childhood and over the years he has explored many remote archaeological sites, so his hobby and profession have enabled him to specialise in the subject of medicine around the world. He has lectured nationally and internationally on different aspects of medicine in antiquity and his illustrated talks feature photos taken by his wife Linda.

He has made major epidemiological contributions to the pathophysiology and prevention of osteoporosis, to the epidemiology of osteoarthritis and on the occupational and environmental determinants of soft tissue rheumatic disorders. His key research contributions have been in discovery of the developmental influences which contribute to the risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture in late adulthood and in demonstrating that maternal vitamin D insufficiency is associated with sub-optimal bone mineral accrual in childhood.

DrChan writes: I specialise in the Neolithic archaeology of Britain, focusing on the analysis of stone tools, and the role of material practices in the social reproduction of prehistoric societies. After receiving my PhD from the University of Sheffield in 2003 I went on to hold post-doctoral positions on the Stonehenge Riverside Project (at the University of Manchester) and the Feeding Stonehenge Project (at the University of Sheffield), both funded by the AHRC. In 2013 I won a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship, which was based in the Laboratory for Artefact Studies in the Faculty of Archaeology at Leiden University. I am currently working on the AHRC-funded Living with Monuments Project, which investigates settlement and related activities in the Avebury region from the 4th to 2nd millennia BC. I have also worked extensively within commercial archaeology and have held positions as an archaeological consultant to the Antiquities and Monuments Office in Hong Kong, and as an Assistant Heritage Protection Adviser within English Heritage.
