We are pleased to share that on Saturday, 13th December, successfully hosted the "HKU Lingering Love - Unity in Diversity: Celebrating Life and Legacy in Hong Kong" (Musculoskeletal Workshop) in a warm and welcoming setting. 11 enthusiastic participants, primarily from ethnic minority communities and migrant workers, joined nearly ten dedicated MBBS students, who led engaging and thoughtful discussions on proper exercise techniques and posture. This initiative not only benefits the local community but also provides our students with valuable hands-on experience, further enhancing their knowledge during the MSS block. We are truly grateful for everyone’s support in making this meaningful event possible and look forward to more such inspiring gatherings in the future.

博士研究生羅靜怡主要研究微管蛋白生物化學，她跟隨 #生物醫學學院助理教授狄士傑教授，參與了一項開創性研究，探討化療藥物與關鍵療效指標之間的相互作用，試圖從分子層面揭示明星抗癌藥紫杉醇耐藥的機制，從而為藥物治療設計提供新的思路和方向。

羅靜怡認為，好的團隊和導師固然重要，但成功的關鍵在於找到適合自己的環境並持續努力。狄教授以獨特視角吸引她加入團隊，其他成員來自化學、物理、藥理等背景，互補合作，研究氛圍輕鬆，更易產出新成果。狄教授積極為學生爭取資源，港大也提供全面支持，如國際會議資助和面試培訓，幫助她獲得在西班牙、德國、 美國及粵港澳的交流機會。她明白，科研不僅在實驗室，更要走出去與頂尖學者交流，掌握前沿動態。歡迎大家透過 #港大醫學院 #醫研新秀 專欄，繼續了解她的故事︰ https://bit.ly/4aqtIcr
