Prof. XU Chenjie has been selected for the inaugural RGC Overseas Research Fellowship Scheme (ORFS). Prof. Xu specialises in nanomedicine, developing next-generation microneedle devices for transdermal drug delivery and biosensing, and intelligent formulations/devices for delivering biologics such as cells.

Launched by the RGC on a pilot basis to promote the internationalisation of UGC-funded universities, the ORFS supports faculty to undertake immersive overseas research collaborations and research-related professional development.

Under the fellowship, Prof. Xu will visit the University of Oxford and University College Dublin to conduct research in medical devices and life sciences, seek additional funding opportunities, and draw on the innovation ecosystems in Oxford and Ireland to strengthen CityUHK’s research capabilities.
