As human and animal health are becoming more and more interdependent, we have adopted the “One Health” approach to designing measures for safeguarding public health in response to global challenges. Under this overarching theme, we are developing and integrating interdisciplinary, problem-based research collaborations and communications in all aspects of health-related issues.

Matter

The study of matter (or materials) is one of the three pillars on which modern civilisation is built. It covers different aspects of research, from synthesis to processing and fabrication, from properties evaluation to modification, and from design to applications. It focuses on the integration of advanced materials, nanotechnology and computer science to address ageing and health, new energy sources and storage, environmental hazards, future information and communication technology, and additive manufacturing routes such as 3D/4D printing.

Brain

Covering biology, chemistry, neuroscience, medicine, psychology, computer science and linguistics, the study of brain is an interdisciplinary collaborative efforts to have better understanding of the structure and functions of the brain, the fundamental mechanisms of biological processes and diseases, as well as translating the findings into diagnostic tools and treatments. It is also related to the computer brain, namely artificial intelligence, for a deeper understanding of the potential of the human–machine interface, which may enhance productivity, thus driving the advancement of society as a whole.
