When Biology Meets Medicine
‘CUHK’s Biomedical Sciences Programme is really great as I get a real taste of all the different areas such as cancer biology, neuroscience, stem cell research, immunology, etc., which genuinely appealed to me,’ said Romeo Goh from Malaysia, who entered CUHK as one of the first batch of Biomedical Sciences students.
Romeo is always very interested in the human aspect of biology and various areas of biomedical sciences because he believes that behind every treatment that improves human health is a story of discovery.
Biomedical research plays a pivotal role in shaping the advancement of modern clinical practice. In view of this, CUHK launched the Biomedical Sciences Programme in 2016 to meet the increasing demand of professionals in the biotech and biopharmaceutical industry, medical and clinical services including genetic and genomic services locally, as well as in Southern China.
