Capitalizing on the research strengths in genomic science of CUHK and BGI, the institute will focus on the training of individuals in the areas of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, clinical genetics, clinical genomics, computational biology and bioinformatics by developing basic and advanced education programmes, including master’s and doctoral programmes, in relevant fields. The institute will also enhance research collaboration and facilitate establishment of joint laboratories to meet the needs of expert training, academic research and biotechnology development. 
 The above-mentioned facilities and research centres can help to enhance the vibrancy and diversity of the University’s teaching and research activities. Like sand and gravel in concrete, these events add up, bit by bit, to form a solid foundation for the University’s future development and endeavours.
