Margaret K.L. Cheung Research Centre for Management of Parkinsonism

In view of the lacking understanding of and preventive treatments for parkinsonism, the Margaret K.L. Cheung Research Centre for Management of Parkinsonism was established by the Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong after the name of the donor, Ms. Margaret Kam Ling Cheung. The Centre is set up with an aim to conduct transdisciplinary research that will enable the discovery of therapeutics that can prevent or slow the progression of common diseases causing parkinsonism.

Therese Pei Fong Chow Research Centre for Prevention of Dementia

With generous donation by Ms. Therese Pei Fong Chow, CUHK established the Therese Pei Fong Chow Research Centre for Prevention of Dementia in 2016. Lead by the professional team from Faculty of Medicine at CUHK, the Centre aims to prevent or delay onset of dementia in the rapidly ageing population of Hong Kong, through innovative research and education to develop and promote effective preventive strategies or treatments in the community.

The areas of activity focus include education to the public on early identification and prevention of dementia; identification of novel risk and protective factors of dementia in Chinese population; development of biomarkers and diagnostic tools for early detection of cognitive disorders; clinical trials to evaluate potentially effective pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to prevent dementia; and collaboration with different disciplines and build international partnerships in research, education and training.

Lui Che Woo Institute of Innovative Medicine

With the generous support of the Lui Che Woo Foundation Limited, the Lui Che Woo Institute of Innovative Medicine (LCW IIM) was established in 2012 under the Faculty of Medicine, and is dedicated to the advancement of three focused initiatives, namely BRAIN (Brain Research And Innovative Neuroscience), SMART (Sports Medicine And Regenerative Technology) and CARE (Cardiovascular Advancement, Research and Education). These research initiatives involve interdisciplinary teams of researchers from other Faculties of the University as well as international research partners to explore cutting edge advances in the knowledge frontiers.

Brain and Mind Institute

The vision of Brain and Mind Institute (BMI) is to become a world-leading research institute that makes discoveries in basic mechanisms of complex neurological conditions with the ultimate goal to enhance treatments of these conditions using molecular, cellular, behavioral, and engineering therapies and solutions for optimizing human development, enhancing learning, and improving quality of life.

The mission of the Institute includes conducting cutting edge, interdisciplinary research to solve complex research problems concerning language, cognition, learning and their neural and neurogenetic underpinnings from molecule to behavior; solving these complex neurological research problems with strategic research partners nationally and internationally; and translating our laboratory findings into clinical and educational practices with community partners.
