Since last visit held on 2001, members of the Research Grants Council (RGC) and its four Panels visited the University again on 17 June 2010. Apart from meeting the University’s Senior Administration and some research postgraduate students and junior faculty members, the four Panels were divided into different sub-groups and paid visits to selected academic departments and schools / institutes on that day.
The sub-group which visited the School of Biomedical Sciences was comprised of Professor Anne Cooke (Convenor and RGC member), Professors Wing-hung Wong and Rudolf Wu (RGC members) and Professors Kai-nan An, Rudolf Bauer, Chih-chang Chu, David Tuan-hua Ho and Roger H. Reeves (Biology & Medicine Panel members).
During the visit, the sub-group members had a meeting with the School Director, Associate Director (Research), Associate Director (Administration) and the Chiefs of the five Thematic Research Programs, followed with a tour to the Macromolecular and Microarray Core and participation in the poster session where over 30 RGC-funded research projects being undertaken by our School investigators were showcased.
