Remarks:
- The Laboratory for Synthetic Chemistry and Chemical Biology
The laboratory is a 5-year programme led by Professor Chi Ming CHE from the Department of Chemistry, in collaboration with Imperial College London and Peking University. The project aims to produce innovative, high-impact and leading-edge interdisciplinary research in the area of drug discovery and development. It has been admitted to the Health@InnoHK programme launched by Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC), HKSAR with a projected funding of HK$502.3 million and a laboratory area of 10.271 sq.ft. in Hong Kong Science Park.
- The Hong Kong Quantum AI Lab
The Centre is a multi-disciplinary programme which combines big data/machine learning, computational science and experiment to discovery new energy materials and devices, in particular, organic light emitting diodes and solid state lithium ion battery. Professor Guanhua CHEN from Department of Chemistry is the Lead Principal Investigator. It has been admitted to AIR@InnoHK programme launched by Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC), HKSAR with a projected funding of up to HK$305 million over a five period and a lab space of around 12,000 sq.ft. in Hong Kong Science Park.
