Nurturing Future Research Leaders
CUHK is deeply committed to nurturing the next generation of research leaders through its world-class postgraduate programmes and extensive research opportunities. Through initiatives such as the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS), CUHK has cultivated numerous research leaders who contribute to global advancements.
A recent highlight is the work of Professor Billy Ng, Assistant Professor at the CUHK School of Pharmacy, who was also a CUHK PhD graduate and an HKPFS awardee. Leveraging CUHK’s interdisciplinary research environment, Professor Ng’s work in chemical biology has been awarded a HK$2 million research grant from the Gates Foundation to develop nucleoside analog drugs. He was also honoured as a Young Global Leader (2022) by the World Economic Forum. His research not only addresses critical health challenges but also drives the commercialisation of pharmaceutical innovations.
