Research and Innovation RAISING THE BAR 2020–21 was a banner year as the University secured the largest share of government funding, had the highest proportion of ‘world-leading’ research in the Research Grants Council’s Research Assessment Exercise, and saw 31 HKU academics named to Clarivate’s 2021 Highly Cited Researchers List. Plans were in motion to elevate our research excellence even higher through recruitment and new facilities. The Laboratory for Synthetic Chemistry and Chemical Biology, directed by Professor Che Chi-ming, is one of the six research laboratories established under the Health@InnoHK cluster with a key mission to make advanced cancer a treatable chronic disease, by developing innovative, leading-edge interdisciplinary research that connects chemistry, molecular biology and clinical oncology.
