Abstract

Building upon our success using microbiota transplantations to treat certain life-threatening conditions, CUHK established Asia’s first and Hong Kong’s only microbiota transplantation and research Centre. Tasked with investigating the role of gut microbiota in human health and developing novel strategies for disease prevention and intervention, the centre is already hosting several exciting research projects on microbiota transplantation.
