Knowledge Transfer to the Community on Research Results in Breast Cancer Research in Hong Kong

Breast cancer-related research is one of the key research focuses of Centre for Global Health (CGH) and Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation (HKBCF) has been a key partner in this area, including the provision of relevant research data. CGH has concluded an Agreement of Understanding with HKBCF in 2014 and HKBCF has also supported CGH’s development of breast cancer-related research in Hong Kong via a donation made in that year. As an update of this collaboration, Professor Emily Ying Yang Chan, Director of CGH and Associate Director of the School, joined hand with HKBCF to announce the latest research results on 20 September 2018, which have received wide media coverage as follows:
