He has extensive contacts with the local herbal medicine industry and established a ‘CrocoBest.com’ website to help disseminate knowledge on the authentication and consumption of crocodile meat. The Hong Kong Institute of Biotechnology (HKIB), a full subsidiary of CUHK, is dedicated to R&D in both biotechnology and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In the first year of a collaborative research with GreenPak Biotech Ltd., funded by ITF, progress was made in the development of a cost-effective production platform that enables future plasmid DNA therapeutics and vaccine. The research led to a collaboration with the Animal Influenza Lab of the Ministry of Agriculture at Harbin Veterinary Research Institute (HVRI), a subordinate of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In this collaboration, HKIB and GreenPak Biotech provide the technology platform for making high quality H5N1 plasmid based DNA vaccine for poultry invented by HVRI. The success of this project will lead to a new vaccine for H5N1 that carries many advantages over the traditional egg-based vaccine. HKIB received ITF funding for a two-year project for developing Near Infrared Spectroscopic technique for the modernization of quality control of TCM raw materials. Being the first research at the institute to apply Process Analytical Technology in TCM, it is set to make an impact in TCM manufacturing operations. The institute also entered into a research collaboration with FastGen International Ltd. to enhance the development of point-of-care rapid diagnostics. Various research centres led by faculty members of the Faculty of Business Administration have conducted applied research which has important implications for the community and for industry. Insights gained by the research projects are shared with industry practitioners and the public through seminars, workshops and the media. In the year under review, these research projects included : • ‘Competitiveness of Express Industry in PRD’ by the Li & Fung Institute of Supply Chain Management & Logistics • ‘Feasibility and Implications of a Hong Kong International Airport and the Shenzhen Airport Rail Connection’ by the Aviation Policy and Research Center • ‘Hong Kong’s Venture Capital System and the Commercialization of New Technology’ by the Centre for Entrepreneurship The APIB supports the business community in the form of executive training, research and consultancy services, by building on the teaching and research excellence of the Faculty of Business Administration. In 2008–09, APIB organized a series of executive programmes, seminars and workshops for the Hong Kong Government and a variety of corporations such as Credit Suisse, HSBC, China Development Bank, and MTRC. Some programmes were customized to provide business solutions unique to the corporations. 生物科技研究院開發的快速診斷測試盒 Rapid diagnostic test kit developed by HKIB
