Research Centres for Micro-electronics and Precision Medicine

Date
14 Nov 2018

Abstract

PolyU reached strategic collaborative research framework agreements with China Resources
Microelectronics Limited (CR Micro) and China Resources Life Science Limited (CR Life
Science) respectively to explore the possibility of establishing two joint research centers
for novel micro-electronic devices and precision medicine, aiming to translate technologies
research into practical applications.
The agreements were signed on PolyU campus by Ir Professor Alex WAI, Vice President
(Research Development) of PolyU; Mr Sean ZHANG, General Manager of China Resources
Microelectronics; and Mr YAN Jian-guo, Chairman of China Resources Life Science. Witnessing
the ceremony were Mr LIU Zhi-ming, Deputy Inspector, Department of Educational, Scientific
and Technological Affairs, Liasion Office of The Central People’s Government in HKSAR; Mr T C
CHAN, PolyU Council Chairman, and Mr CHEN Ying, Chief Strategy Officer of China Resources
Group.
PolyU will collaborate with CR Micro to jointly develop an intelligent sprayable nano-
engineered sensor system for monitoring the structural health of large wind turbine blades
and its management system, and to develop a low-cost, light-weight, highly sensitive and
mechanically flexible organic electrochemical transistors for medical diagnosis use.
Beside, PolyU will work with CR Life Science to develop frontier technology and products in life
sciences and precision medicine, covering both fundamental and clinical research on precision
medicine.
