Our MPhil and PhD programmes are designed to prepare graduates for a challenging career in basic or applied research in innovative medicine. Our patient-centric, multidisciplinary philosophy underpins our efforts to understand diseases, develop better drugs and enhance the effectiveness of drug-based therapies to improving outcomes and reducing costs.

Our programme will inspire students to adopt cutting-edge technology and bio-informatics tools to address pressing research questions in the emerging areas of pharmacology and drug discovery. Our students will be challenged to integrate chemical technology with state-of-the-art analytical techniques to develop new drugs, and apply pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling to personalize drug use in patients. They will also leverage healthcare economics and epidemiology to optimize cost-effective drug therapies to meet both medical and social needs.

Our research programme features extensive collaborations locally with the Hospital Authority and major pharmaceutical companies. We also partner with institutions in mainland China (e.g. Sichuan University, China Pharmaceutical University, Sun Yat-sen University), as well as renowned overseas research groups from Harvard Medical School and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our graduates have landed academic and research jobs regionally in Hong Kong, Macau, mainland China, the United States, Europe, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Australia.
