We had the pleasure of welcoming 49 eager secondary school students to our #HKU Biomedical Summer Academy 2025. Supported by Croucher Foundation, this engaging week-long programme allowed #SBMS researchers and experts to introduce them to the fascinating field of biomedical sciences.

#ISSCR2025 co-chaired by Prof Kathryn Cheah culminated in June with a panel session featuring members of the HK Spinal Muscular Atrophy community, highlighting the transformative power of patient advocacy, clinical expertise & gov't collaboration in improving treatment access.

Early this month an Immunology Research Mixer was held featuring keynote talks on basic-clinical collaborations, with panels on immune diseases and translational research. A great event to strengthen our community of immunology researchers and clinicians! #Immunology

Research led by #HKUSBMS Prof Heidi Ling Guang-sheng and #PKU Professor Xue Ruidong found that fat in liver tumours can reprogramme immune cells, causing them to malfunction and driving resistance to current first-line treatments for liver cancer.
