Understanding human capacity and potential entails unlocking the organ that powers all human functions—the brain. At CityU, neuroscience is an increasingly thriving field, regularly uncovering one discovery after another. Research in this area has gained significant traction over the years thanks to concurrent growth in medical technology. More and more questions are asked about the connections between the human mind and our biological processes and the ways through which these discoveries can be translated into life-transforming medical interventions.

Creating applicable knowledge that rewards the larger society is among the legacies that CityU seeks to achieve through its diverse disciplines. Among the more tangible benefits is the actual discovery, design and application of new materials through its faculty and researchers.
