It is always inspiring to learn from teachers and peers about their ideas and scientific findings. During our undergraduate study, not only did we acquire biomedical science knowledge from teachers through regular lectures, but we also got plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas with classmates on various occasions, such as Summer Undergraduate Biomedical Research Attachment (SUBRA), Capstone Research Project presentation, and research days, to name a few. I am grateful for the experience and knowledge acquired during my undergraduate study, which has widened my horizons for further exploration in the field of biomedical sciences.

SUBRA and Capstone Research Project are perhaps the most memorable activities for most students in the research concentration area during undergraduate study. I am thankful for the opportunity to be involved in cancer research during summer attachment and subsequently focused on the development of gene therapy during my capstone research project. These experiences sparked my interest in research and therefore i am now pursuing a PhD at the School of Biomedical Sciences, CUHK, focusing on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. While research and innovations often come with challenges, I hope to contribute to the field in the future through studying and advancing gene and cell therapy.
