Facts and Figures

RESEARCH | 36 InnoHK Centres Health@InnoHK Center for Neuromusculoskeletal Restorative Medicine (CNRM) The Center is a multi-disciplinary, international consortium devoted to the application of convergent principles and technologies of biomedical science and engineering to restore structure and function to neuromusculoskeletal tissues and organs injured, diseased and degenerated due to aging or trauma, for the maintenance of mobility and enhancement of quality of life through biomedical research and development. Centre for Novostics Novostics focus on the development of cutting edge diagnostics based on cell-free nucleic acids in blood and other bodily fluids, particularly around prenatal diagnosis and cancer diagnostics. These research areas will accelerate the application of liquid biopsy and promote Hong Kong as a leading molecular diagnostic centre in the world. Microbiota I-Center The Center focuses on advancing science in the gut microbiome and promoting entrepreneurship. It is committed to developing a novel class of microbiome diagnostics and live biotherapeutics for common diseases including obesity, cancer, autism, inflammatory disorders and COVID-19, that will not only transform lives of patients and their families, but also accelerate Hong Kong into a world-class microbiome biotechnology hub. AIR@InnoHK Centre for Perceptual and Interactive Intelligence (CPII) CPII makes use of Hong Kong's international research networks for AI talent development and exchange, nurture AI start-ups and bring academic outcomes to meet industrial demands. With strong capabilities in computer vision, multilingual speech and language technologies, natural language processing, and AI-enabled design automation, CPII will efficiently connect research with industry to accelerate social implementation. Hong Kong Centre for Logistics Robotics (HKCLR) The Centre focuses on the research and development (R&D) of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for future workplaces as well as innovative solutions to the pressing problems in the logistics industry. In particular, it aims to advance robot intelligence in terms of smart perception, smart interactions, smart manipulation; and smart moving. Multi-Scale Medical Robotics Center (MRC) The Center laboratory is positioned to enable translational research on and productisation of novel surgical robotic technologies. The Hybrid Operating Room of the MRC Lab enables real-time, intra- operational medical imaging during surgical robotics interventions R&D, which is a one-of-its-kind facility in Asia that is fully dedicated to R&D and pre-clinical evaluations of new surgical robots and medical devices via live animal and cadaveric studies.
