The Croucher Laboratory for Human Genomics, CUHK

The Chinese University of Hong Kong established The Croucher Laboratory for Human Genomics today in the Mong Man Wai Building on campus, bolstering the advanced study of genes at the University.

The Laboratory was founded on the achievements of the Laboratory of Human Genomics, as the result of close collaborations among a number of researchers. Scientists working in the Laboratory have recently made important discoveries on the functional characteristics of human genes including those important to liver cancer development and the cardiovascular systems. In collaboration with colleagues at the Prince of Wales Hospital, the same group of scientists also sequenced the SARS virus genome during the SARS outbreak last year.
