ITF funding secured for anti-Covid-19 research
13 Nov 2020 ITF funding secured for anti-Covid-19 research
Research at CityU aimed at tackling Covid-19 has attracted over $7.1 million in funding from the Innovation and Technology Fund (ITF) under the Innovation and Technology Commission. The CityU projects constitute our proactive response to the need for the application of cutting-edge technologies in fighting the epidemic...
What is Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)?
30 Oct 2020 What is Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)?
Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a large and diverse class of RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules which has become a growing focus of cancer genomics studies in recent years. In this article, we will explain what lncRNA is and its functions...
城大精準技術分選癌細胞 CityU’s ground-breaking technology for the accurate detection of cancer cells
31 Jul 2020 城大精準技術分選癌細胞 CityU’s ground-breaking technology for the accurate detection of cancer cells
Cancer cells can now be detected from 4 ml of blood in only five minutes. Cancer is the No. 1 "killer" in Hong Kong. On average, over 35 people have died per day from cancer in the past few years. Early detection is the key to save lives. Is there a way to detect cancer cells in the early stage for treatment? The research team at BMS has found a way...
CityU’s CRISPR-assisted novel method detects RNA-binding proteins in living cells
27 Jul 2020 CityU’s CRISPR-assisted novel method detects RNA-binding proteins in living cells
While scientists still don’t fully understand the diverse nature of RNA molecules, it is believed that the proteins binding to them, called RNA-binding proteins, are associated with many disease formation. A research led by Dr Jian Yan, Dr Liang Zhang and Dr Ming Chan has developed a novel detection method, called CARPID, to identify binding proteins of specific RNAs in the living cells...
Intracellular biopsy technique for fast microRNAs profiling in living cells
19 Jun 2020 Intracellular biopsy technique for fast microRNAs profiling in living cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are gaining more attention in researches of different human diseases (e.g. cancer) because changes in miRNA expression are frequently associated with abnormal cellular functions. To achieve fast and highly sensitive profiling of miRNAs, a research team from CityU has developed a novel intracellular biopsy technique that isolates targeted miRNAs from living cells within around 10 minutes by using diamond nanoneedles...
Data science and Covid-19: let the numbers talk
5 Jun 2020 Data science and Covid-19: let the numbers talk
Reflecting our growing reputation for excellence in data science, leading scholars from CityU, Harvard, MIT, Cornell, UT Austin, UC Irvine, HKU and HIT (Shenzhen) convened online for an international forum on data, statistics and Covid-19 pandemic...
New in vivo priming strategy to train stem cells can enhance cardiac repair effectiveness
15 Apr 2020 New in vivo priming strategy to train stem cells can enhance cardiac repair effectiveness
Dr Kiwon Ban, together with his collaborators, has developed a novel strategy, called in vivo priming, to “train” the stem cells to stay strong after implantation to the damaged heart via the 3D-printed bandage-like patch...
CityU estimate: Patients quarantined after symptoms for 3.5 days
5 Mar 2020 CityU estimate: Patients quarantined after symptoms for 3.5 days
A possible increase of around 60 infected cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) from mid-February to mid-March is projected by Dr Sean Yuan Hsiang-yu. Whether the number of local infections will grow significantly depends on how effective the quarantine measures are at reducing the recontact rate between the high-risk individuals and other people...
Rare cells bring new hope in cancer immunotherapy
25 Feb 2020 Rare cells bring new hope in cancer immunotherapy
Unleashing the intrinsic power of the immune system to fight cancer is the focus of a research led by Dr Chow Kwan Ting, who has received the 2019 Croucher Innovation Award for her pioneering research on the anti-tumour activities of a rare immune cell type – plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs)...
CityU expert assesses worst scenario for coronavirus outbreak in Hong Kong
4 Feb 2020 CityU expert assesses worst scenario for coronavirus outbreak in Hong Kong
Dr Sean Yuan Hsiang-yu estimates that the worst-case scenario for a novel coronavirus outbreak in the local community could be more than 220 individuals infected over the next two weeks after the Chinese New Year holidays...
CityU’s new blood test technology for accurate detection of cancer cells
19 Dec 2019 CityU’s new blood test technology for accurate detection of cancer cells
Groundbreaking technology that can accurately perform early screening for cancer cells and effectively monitor disease status has been successfully developed by a research team led by Prof. Michael Yang...
