Prof. Chan Wai-yee, Director of the School of Biomedical Sciences (SBS) was invited to be the guest speaker for the “Public Lectures by New Programme 2016 - Biomedical Sciences” organized by the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid (OAFA) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong on 26 February 2016. 

Well-attended by senior secondary school students, the topic that Prof. Chan addressed during the public lecture was “Boys with Early Puberty: The Clinical Application of Biomedical Research”, illustrating how biomedical research could make precise diagnosis of boys with early puberty and cause a change in the management of patients with this disorder.  

Through delivering public lecture to senior secondary school students, it is hoped that they will gain a better understanding on the study of Biomedical Sciences, and their interests in this subject area can be further enhanced and explored .  Besides, the participating students could be encouraged to apply for our School’s first undergraduate programme – the BSc in Biomedical Sciences Programme, which will admit its first intake in September 2016, and at the same time our teaching staff could elaborate to them about the curriculum and career prospect after graduation.
