The Hsing Group
The Hsing Spirit
In our laboratory, we pledge to train our students to be independent thinkers, ethical professionals, passionate teachers, and innovative scholars.
To achieve most, if not all, of the attributes, it is important that an intellectually stimulating environment with sufficient funding and adequate research infrastructure is provided to them who can learn in-focus, think freely, and plan big.
Only then, our students can put their act together and dig for research gold, like creative children...
Nucleic acid bioengineering, biomaterials, and bioelectronics.
Led by Professor I-Ming Hsing at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, our group brings together molecular engineering, materials, and data science to study biosensing and healthcare technologies.
