The School of Biomedical Sciences (SBS) Virtual Research Day 2020 was successfully conducted on 2 and 3 June 2020 via ZOOM platform. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the School continued this annual flagship event in an online video conferencing format and it attracted over 200 participants.

The Virtual Research Day was officiated by Prof. Francis K.L. Chan, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, CUHK and Prof. Andrew M. Chan, Director of SBS. This year we had fifteen Principal Investigators from our three Thematic Research Programs to present their latest discoveries online, with Q & A sessions to enhance interaction among participants.

Since the establishment of the School, the SBS Research Day has been an important annual platform for School investigators in different disciplines gather together to showcase significant research progress. With the participation of researchers in the School, the Faculty as well as other tertiary institutions, and stakeholders in different biomedical sciences fields, it also encourages stimulating discussions and inspires new scientific ideas. It is our hope to open door for further research collaborations among distinguished researchers to advance the frontiers of biomedical sciences. We sincerely thank all the participants for their support to make our first Virtual Research Day a big success.
