Welcome Message

I am delighted to present to you the 6th issue of our HKUMed School of Biomedical Sciences newsletter. It has been almost one year since the inauguration of this newsletter, and it is playing an important part in keeping our staff, students and friends up to date with the happenings in the School. Wrapping up the year of 2021 and looking ahead to 2022, we are excited to introduce the BSc in Bioinformatics programme, the newest undergraduate programme offered by our School. The feature stories of the innovative research at Health@InnoHK and our students’ achievements in the 7th China International College Students‘ “Internet+” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition will most certainly inspire everyone to be more creative and to think more about translating biomedical research. In addition, from this edition onwards, we will be going into the laboratories of our PIs to have a glimpse of their research work and what life is like to work in their research laboratories, starting with Drs. Clive Chung and Mu He’s laboratories.

Last but not least, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dr. Masayo Kotaka Member, Knowledge Exchange & Global Committee School of Biomedical Sciences
