Event Recap
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the vibrant discussions. Here’s a quick recap and shoutout to our amazing speakers and participants:
Thank you Prof. Kevin Au (Director of CUHK Centre for Entrepreneurship) , for your unwavering support of the ScienceX initiative!
Thank you Prof. John A. Rudd (Professor at CUHK & Co-founder at Gut Rhythm R&D, a bio-tech company that provides drug screening based on gastrointestinal slow wave patterns with patented methodology) for his thought-provoking insights on the mechanism of action of drugs on the Brain-Gut axis. We were especially fascinated by how Gut Rhythm R&D is leveraging bio-electrical gut data to predict potential drug effects, streamlining the drug approval process by identifying problematic effects early. Truly inspiring!
Thank you Michael Yung (Strategic Advisor, Google Cloud) for sharing the latest breakthroughs in AI and quantum computing from Google, particularly the development of the Willow chip. We just learn from Michael that Q day is getting near and we should start preparing! Q day is the day when quantum computers could compromise current encryption systems. As a Web3 expert, his insights on which cryptocurrencies are preparing to be Q Day-safe were incredibly informative. Time to get ready!
Thank you Fred Wong (CIO at eFusionCapital, a hedge fund focusing on semiconductor and deep tech investments) for his witty and insightful discussion on AI and neuroscience. His perspective on cross-domain knowledge, by combining diverse fields to create novel perspectives and a deeper understanding of the world, was truly inspiring!
Thank you KK Hau 侯經權 (former vetting committee at HKGov ITF R&D fund) for your sharp and thoughtful questions, especially on the deep tech side. We’re grateful to have had the chance to learn from your expertise and curiosity!
