InnoHKCentres RESEARCH | 36 CUHK is making a significant contribution to Hong Kong's innovation and technology development through its six InnoHK Centres focusing on health, biomedicine, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Over 100 patents have been filed for the inventions developed by the Centres. Health@InnoHK 1. Centre for Neuromusculoskeletal Restorative Medicine (CNRM) The Centre 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 ageing or trauma, for the maintenance of mobility and enhancement of quality of life through biomedical research and development. 2. Centre for Novostics Novostics focuses 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. 3. 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, which will not only transform lives of patients and their families, but also accelerate Hong Kong's development into a world-class microbiome biotechnology hub. 1 2 3
