Led by our School members, two research proposals have been selected for the Research Grants Council (RGC) Collaborative Research Fund (CRF) 2022-23. Prof. Andrew M. Chan, Director and Professor of our School, obtained the Collaborative Research Equipment Grant (CREG) with a total of HK$2 million for the proposal titled "Establishment of Spatial Multi-Omics Core Facility". In addition, Prof. Yung Wing-ho, Professor of our School, was awarded the Collaborative Research Project Grant (CRPG) with a total of HK$6.58 million for the project named "Mechanism of Cognitive Flexibility: from Core Brain Areas to Network Analysis".

The Collaborative Research Fund (CRF) supports multi-investigator and multidisciplinary research groups in the University Grants Committee (UGC)-funded universities in order to encourage more research groups to engage in creative, high-quality, cross-disciplinary projects. We would like to extend our heartiest congratulations to Prof. Chan and Prof. Yung for obtaining the CRF, in recognition of their continued dedication and commitment in research.
