We are pleased to share the good news that Professor Condon Lau, Associate Professor from the Department of Physics of the College of Science (CSCI) , won a Gold Medal at the Silicon Valley International Inventions Festival (SVIIF) 2024.

Professor Condon Lau’s Gold Medal-winning project is “Artificial Intelligence Immunostaining for Diagnostic Pathology” under ITsci Company Limited. Immunostaining is an important set of methods in diagnostic pathology. The project’s AI invention is considerably faster, less expensive and easier to use than current staining methods. The invention is currently undergoing clinical trials at CityUHK’s Veterinary Medical Centre.

Professor Lau’s research interests involve developing spectroscopy and imaging technologies for characterising biological materials. He is also very active in biomedical and clinical research and is the technology advisor of ITsci Company Limited.

Held from 26 to 28 July in the Santa Clara Convention Center in California, SVIIF is an annual event that brings together inventors, entrepreneurs, and industry. The festival provides a platform for inventors to present their latest inventions and connect with potential investors, partners, and clients. CityUHK’s researchers debuted four projects at the SVIIF 2024, focusing on healthcare, sustainability, clean energy, and biomedical research. The teams achieved outstanding results, winning one Semi-Grand Prix and four Gold Medals.

Congratulations to Professor Lau!
