Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) president Nancy Ip Yuk-yu hopes to break new ground in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease after securing mainland China’s support to tap into its database of 10 million patients and work with hospitals there next year.
In an interview with the Post, the renowned neuroscientist and Alzheimer’s disease expert said she was confident Hong Kong would stay ahead of its rivals in innovation and technology (I&T) if it continued to nurture and attract talent, adding that it enjoyed unique advantages from being part of the Greater Bay Area.
