Visit by Research Grants Committee

On 17 June 2010, members of the Research Grants Council (RGC) and its four Panels visited the University. Delegates from one of the sub-groups of the Biology and Medicine Panel visited the Li Ka Shing Institute of Health Sciences on the same day.

Members of this sub-group who visited the Institute, included Professor Eddy Liew (Convenor and RGC Member), Professor Malik Peiris (RGC Member), Professors Roland Chang, Lily Jan, Alan Rickinson, Edwin Yiu and Eric Stanbridge (Biology and Medicine Panel Members).

During the visit, Professors Dennis Lo, Tony Mok, Hui-yao Lan and Jun Yu delivered presentations on their specific research interests to the sub-group members, followed with a walk tour to various state-of-the-art research facilities of the Institute, including a cluster of "second generation" sequencers, and the biosafety level III laboratory. Before the sub-group members departed from the Institute around noon time, they also joined a poster presentation session in which the research projects on digestive diseases, cancer, inflammation, and non-invasive prenatal diagnosis, were showcased.
