ð Become a CUHK Biomedical Sciences Student for a Day! ðLast week, the ðªðŒð¯ð²-ðºð©ðº ðð®ð¬ðŽ ð»ððð hosted the âððð ððððððð¢ð¯ðð¬: ððð§ðð¬-ðšð§ ððšð¥ððð®ð¥ðð« ðð¢ðšð¥ðšð ð² ððšð«ð€ð¬ð¡ðšð©â for 41 high school students from 24 schools across Hong Kong!
Students received essential lab skills training and participated in engaging group activities, diving into Fish DNA extraction and amplification using PCR. It was an amazing opportunity to introduce foundational molecular biology techniques. Each participant received a unique souvenirâtheir very own "ðððð ð± ððŠð¢ð§ðš ððð¢ðð¬" keychain, created by the team.
Throughout the day, students performed DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction, and gel electrophoresis on two fish samples. They also learned how to interpret data and explored bioinformatics tools in DNA barcoding. The highlight was Dr Jacky Yuenâs talk, âHacking the Code of Life,â where he introduced synthetic biology concepts.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to the CUHK-SBS iGEM team, along with the dedicated teachers and staff from SBS. This event was a great success! ð©âð¬ð¬ð

Its mission is to advance the Cell & Gene Therapy (CGT) industry in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, including supporting an ongoing CAR-T cell clinical trial for B-cell malignancies. ð§«
During their internships, Alvina and Felicia contributed to essential daily operations and gained valuable hands-on experience in a GMP environment.
Alvina shared: âIt was an honour to assist in the manufacture of CAR-T cells for treating cancer patients. Beyond the lab, participating in the Centreâs Opening Ceremony and exchange trips to Shenzhen and Shanghai were truly inspiring. Iâm grateful that my university courses provided a solid foundation, allowing me to apply what I learned in real-world settings.â ð
Felicia shared that the internship strengthened her understanding of GMP, CAR-T cell therapy, and the CAR-T manufacturing process, while also introducing her to cleanroom practices and aseptic techniques. The experience broadened her perspective on career planning, showing her that Biomedical Sciences extends beyond R&D, with diverse teams working together to drive innovation and advance biomedical development in Hong Kong. ð§¬

âš With over a year in the field, Katie continues to apply her biomedical training daily while thriving in the fast-evolving world of intellectual property. ð Weâre proud of you, Katie!

ð Congratulations to our Biomedical Sciences Year 4 student ððððð§ð¢ðð¡ ðð¢ð¬ð¡ð ððððð and Year 5 student ððððððð ðð¢ð ðð®ðð² ððð on completing their internship at ðŒð¡ððð§ð© ððð-ð ðð© ðŸððð£ ðð£ð©ðð¡ð¡ððð©ðªðð¡ ðð§ð€ð¥ðð§ð©ð® ððð¢ðð©ðð
During the internship, they explored how medicine and law intersect, gaining hands-on experience beyond the traditional lab setting. Their work included:
âš Conducting legal and business research on IP laws and biotech-related topics
âš Reviewing and assisting with patent applications
âš Translation and legal administrative work
âš Supporting an Intellectual Property Conference
ð¡As Rebecca shared, her future plans include working in pharma/biotech and pursuing a Juris Doctor (JD) to combine both biomedical and legal expertise. ð§¬Netaniah discovered her passion for science communication and innovation through patent-related work, and hopes to pursue a career spanning biomed, law, and biotech startups.
ð§ âïžâš This experience shows how Intellectual Property drives innovation and how biomedical graduates can thrive across science, business, and law.
Thank you, Netaniah and Rebecca, for sharing your inspiring experience and reminding us that biomedical careers have endless possibilities.
