HKUST forms advisory group to support HK's third medical school

Members include a former UK health minister and a Nobel laureate.

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has formed a council advisory group to support the development of Hong Kong’s third medical school, providing guidance to the university council.

Chaired by Dr. Leong Che-Hung, the advisory group includes a roster of global medical experts and scholars such as former UK health minister Ara Darzi, chair of surgery at Imperial College London Paul Hamlyn, Columbia University's David Ho, Singaporean ophthalmologist Wong Tien-yin, and Nobel laureate Roger Kornberg from Stanford University's School of Medicine.

Their collective expertise is expected to guide the university in establishing a leading medical school that will enhance Hong Kong’s role as an international hub for medical education, research, and innovation.

HKUST plans to continue recruiting members to deepen the advisory group's expertise.
