- BSc (Hons) in Applied Biology with Biotechnology

Studying at PolyU has strengthened my knowledge and provided me with hands-on experience to explore my research interests. During my time in the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology (ABCT), I have received tremendous opportunities to participate in several research groups, which helped me discover my passion for studying gut microbiota and tumour microenvironment. For example, the Undergraduate Research and Innovation Scheme (URIS) and the Sponsorship for Internship Enhancement Programme (SIEP) allowed me to work on a project focusing on engineered bacteria that have the potential to kill colorectal cancer cells. This experience was amazing and has inspired me to pursue a career in this field. Despite the challenges faced during the Covid-19 pandemic, I was granted the sponsorship to attend an intensive online research program from Cambridge, that allowed me to review the synergetic effect of microbiota on improving the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. I am deeply grateful to all the academic staff in my department for supporting me wholeheartedly throughout my studies and playing an important role in shaping the person I am today.

應用生物及化學科技學系為我提供了大量參與科研的機會，讓我獲取了不少實踐經驗和知識。當中包括透過Undergraduate Research and Innovation Scheme (URIS) 和實習資助計劃，我參與了一個有關利用基因改造細菌對付結直腸癌細胞的研究，並因此增加了我對腸道菌群和腫瘤微環境的興趣和知識。在疫情期間，我還有幸於劍橋大學就讀了一個有關微生物群和提高免疫系統的網上研究課程，對我的未來發展大有裨益。因此，我格外感謝學系對我的所有栽培，並因而造就了今天的我。
