CUHK successfully identifies molecular features in plasma EBV DNA associated with nasopharyngeal cancer, achieving a detection accuracy of up to 97% by recognising EBV DNA associated to cancer.

CUHK reported encouraging results from a clinical trial where five cancer patients tested a CAR-T therapy, showing significant improvement in their condition.

Researchers from CUHK and Harvard University developed a technique using silica nanoparticles to increase drug solubility by up to three orders of magnitude, potentially revolutionising drug formulation.

CUHK found that children born during the pandemic are more likely to develop eczema due to over-sanitisation, which disrupts the development of healthy gut bacteria.

CUHK researchers used laser-stimulated fluorescence to reveal intricate tattoos on 1,200-year-old Peruvian mummies from the Chancay culture, highlighting their artistic sophistication and the potential of this technique for future studies.

CUHK researchers developed the VisionFM AI model, which accurately diagnoses multiple eye diseases, surpassing intermediate-level ophthalmologists. This innovation enhances disease screening and could have broader clinical applications in ophthalmology.

CUHK researchers developed a non-invasive test using stool samples to identify bowel diseases, reducing reliance on endoscopies. The researchers aim to have the technology ready for clinical use in Hong Kong by 2027, enabling quicker diagnoses.

CUHK’s emerging research links the oral microbiome to head and neck cancers, suggesting that microbes in the mouth could influence cancer risk and prognosis, and highlighting the importance of dental hygiene.

Dinosaur fossils were discovered for the first time in Hong Kong, on Port Island. Researchers from CUHK emphasise the significance of this find for understanding the region’s paleontological history and ecology.

CUHK researchers developed a way for Hong Kong’s first satellite, funded by the Innovation and Technology Commission, to predict floods and landslides using onboard AI, enhancing disaster management and response accuracy in the region.

CUHK, in collaboration with Prince of Wales Hospital, is piloting a one-stop acute stroke management model using low-field MRI technology, aiming to enhance diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients in Hong Kong.
