PROJECTS

With the experience in developing prenatal testing of fetal chromosomal disorders, the centre extends the work to single-gene diseases and other pregnancy-associated conditions.  A combination of genomic, epigenomic, transcriptomic and fragmentomic technologies are being developed to tackle bottlenecks in cancer diagnostics and investigate the tissue origins of malignancy by circulating nucleic acid analysis, particularly for cancer types prevalent in Hong Kong, mainland China and Asia.
