The group was warmly received by Prof. Lee Tin-lap, Deputy Chief of the Developmental and Regenerative Biology (DRB) Thematic Program of SBS. During the visit, the students were briefly introduced to the background of the School and the use of laboratory equipment in conducting various studies of biomedical sciences especially those for stem cell research. The students were excited by the hands-on opportunities of conducting experiments like DNA extraction and cell exploration by the use of microscope.
It is hoped that younger students are able to build up basic concept of biomedical research through the visit, from which they can start exploring and developing their interests in the different fields of biomedical sciences.
