The newly established PolyU ATP Laboratory will promote precision and personalised medicine through the introduction of advanced therapy products. Prof. Larry Chow, Head of the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, envisions that the Laboratory will contribute to nurturing more biopharmaceutical talents in the region and translating the research outcomes of the University by facilitating cutting-edge medical research and clinical trials.
The PolyU ATP Laboratory is a Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme’s Good Manufacturing Practice (PIC/S GMP)-compliant facility. Prof. Larry Chow stated that his team will collaborate with the biopharmaceutical industry to manufacture cell therapy products for spinal cord injuries, and utilise the expert knowledge from PolyU Department of Rehabilitation Sciences to offer a one-stop approach from precision medicine to rehabilitation.
As part of its promotion of precision and personalised medicine through the introduction of advanced therapy products (ATPs), PolyU is planning to manufacture cell therapy products for spinal cord injuries, which will be further complemented by the post-surgery rehabilitation programme and utilise the expertise of PolyU Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, offering a one-stop approach from precision medicine to rehabilitation to bring new hope to hemiplegia and paralysis patients.
The newly established PolyU Advanced Therapy Product (ATP) Laboratory, led by Prof. Larry Chow Ming-cheung, Head of the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, is a Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme’s Good Manufacturing Practice (PIC/S GMP)-compliant facility, focusing on clinical research in immunotherapy, cell therapy, gene therapy and regenerative medicine.
