The Wu Jieh Yee Institute of Translational Chinese Medicine Research, inaugurated last year, serves as an important platform for HKBU to advance modern Chinese medicine. Professor Terence Lau, Interim Chief Innovation Officer of HKBU and Director of the Institute, expressed his heartfelt gratitude towards the donor and outlined his vision for the Institute.

He said, “Thanks to the generous donation from the Wu Jieh Yee Charitable Foundation, the Wu Jieh Yee Institute of Translational Chinese Medicine Research has been established at the Hong Kong Science Park to drive the standardisation and internationalisation of Chinese medicine. The Institute is dedicated to advancing smart Chinese medicine by leveraging innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis and prescriptions, as well as personalised medical management systems. It is equipped with cutting-edge equipment to foster impactful and innovative translational research that yields practical benefits for society.

Furthermore, the Institute will actively explore opportunities for interdisciplinary and cross-industry collaborations between Guangdong and Hong Kong, with the goal of positioning Hong Kong as a modern and international hub for Chinese medicine and enhancing the global status of this important discipline.”
