CUHK launched the first Department of Biomedical Engineering in Hong Kong on 1 July 2017.  The new Department will host all the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Biomedical Engineering to further their coherent development, and to scale new heights in this important area of education, research and professional services.

In recent years, magnetic-field-driven microrobots have drawn lots of attention because of their promising potential in minimally invasive biomedical applications such as targeted delivery of drug or energy at difficult-to-reach locations inside the human body, materials or stem cell/tissue implantation and biopsy in vivo.
