2022智能可穿戴系統國際會議圓滿結束

理大與盈科瑞（香港）合作研發以中醫藥爲本的新藥

理大十分榮幸，獲得盈科瑞（香港）慷慨支持港幣一千萬元，成立「香港理工大學-盈科瑞創新藥物聯合實驗室」（聯合實驗室），致力開發以中醫藥爲本的新藥，專注防治骨質疏鬆症、肌少症、失智和眼部等疾病。雙方於2022年6月15日在理大舉行簡單而隆重的合作協儀簽署儀式。 北京盈科瑞創新醫藥股份有限公司董事長張保獻教授於典禮上致辭時表示，聯合實驗室的建立是為了深化盈科瑞和理大的合作，期望能把握大灣區的發展機遇，共同研發以中藥為主體的創新藥物，包括用於眼科及骨科的納米凝膠及霧化藥物等新型藥品。 聯合實驗室將由理大「中醫藥創新研究中心」（RCMI）負責統籌。香港理工大學中醫藥創新研究中心主任黃文秀教授表示：「聯合實驗室的成立將會深化目前在治療骨質疏鬆藥物的合作研究； 一方面，發揮盈科瑞在合成化學及新藥產業化的優勢，為理大藥理學技術平台成果產業化提供途徑。聯合實驗室將致力研發源於草藥中的小分子創新藥，包括可用於預防和改善失智症及延緩認知功能障礙的藥物；另一方面，聯合實驗室還將探索新型遞藥系統技術，以開發治療眼科疾病的創新藥物。聯合實驗室不僅在科研技術上進行優勢互補，更將成為新藥研發人材的培訓基地。」

土地及空間研究院學者獲批2022-23年度公共政策研究資助 (只有英文版本)

The project led by RILS' member, Dr Xiaolin ZHU, Assistant Professor of Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI), has been awarded a funding of HK$281,060 from the first round of the Public Policy Research (PPR) Funding Scheme, managed by the Policy Innovation and Co-ordination Office. This project is one of the only two projects receiving funds out of 27 applications.   Illegal dumping of construction and demolition (C&D) materials can lead to severe environmental issues (e.g., destroyed wetlands), life and property risks (e.g., landslide), hygiene problems (e.g., clogging waterways), public health hazards (e.g., breeding germs), and urban planning issues (e.g., seizing public lands). Illegal dumping has become the third-largest source of pollution complaints in Hong Kong since 2020. With the anticipated saturation of the landfills’ capacity, public concern for illegal dumping becomes even more intensive. Illegal dumping of C&D tends to be stealthy, concealed and scattered, making it difficult to track the activities over a large area. Therefore, the capability for detecting illegal dumping should be enhanced urgently to maintain a clean and healthy city environment and to construct a liveable and competitive city.   Dr ZHU’s project provides not only an overview of the suspicious illegal dumping activities in Hong Kong, but also an effective approach to deploy manpower optimally across the relevant government departments for illegal dumping management. The departments can also determine their responsibilities based on the geographical distribution of the illegal dumping activities and other complementary data, such as land use maps. This project will not only contribute to detection of occurrence of illegal activities for the early warning but also to assessment of recovery works after a site is destroyed by illegally deposited C&D, as an essential part of illegal dumping management.   Please click here for more information about the research reports under PPR Funding Schemes.
