We were delighted to co-host a three-day visit (30 March – 1 April 2026) with the Research Centre for Chinese Medicine Innovation (RCMI) and welcome delegates from the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SHUTCM).
The visit was packed with meaningful exchanges:
- Curriculum development discussions for our BSc (Hons) in Human Nutrition & Health and MSc in Dietetics programmes
- Lab tour – delegates visited our cutting-edge food processing and sensory evaluation laboratories, training kitchen, and teaching facilities
- Meeting with our MSc Dietetics students for an engaging Q&A session
- Joint seminar on “The Theoretical Origins and Contemporary Development of ‘Medicine and Food Homology’”
The seminar was delivered by our distinguished guests from SHUTCM’s School of Public Health:
- Prof. Hailei ZHAO (Dean)
- Prof. Qi XU (Professor)
- Prof. Lihong SUN (Associate Professor)
Participants gained valuable insights into the historical evolution of medicinal diets, the integration of food as medicine, and the bridge between classical TCM theories and evidence-based nutrition.
Thank you to all colleagues and students who joined and contributed to this inspiring exchange. We look forward to advancing education, research, and student mobility between Hong Kong and Shanghai.
