The City University of Hong Kong sets a positive example of how universities can equally contribute to the global efforts of tackling sustainability challenges

Government, industry and universities must work together to bring impactful inventions to market

A Chula researcher has been successful in adding value to agricultural waste generated by industrial factories by transforming cassava waste and sewage sludge into organic fertilizer to replace the use of chemical fertilizers.  He has also come up with a special formula of microbial inoculum that increases nutrients needed by plants.

Chula researchers use forage grass to feed microorganisms and convert the resulting fat into jet fuel, aiming to replace petroleum-based energy and reduce impacts on human health and the environment.  

Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Veterinary Science and the Faculty of Engineering have worked together to research and develop a three-dimensional artificial cornea from stem cells that offers a way to treat deep corneal wounds in dogs.  The innovation helps to solve the problem of treatment methods that rely on tissue replacement which is hard to find and very expensive.  It makes it possible for dogs to be able to see clearly and comfortably once again.

Engine Life’s Keep On Sleep patch is now available for purchase. The Keep On Sleep patch is developed by Engine Life, a start-up from the Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University, under the CU Innovation Hub, and under the helm of Assoc. Prof. Dr.

After legalizing the Kratom plant in Thailand, researchers can now build upon a longstanding local wisdom to use the plants for healing.   Dr. Thongchai Sooksawate, a lecturer from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Chulalongkorn University, presents his ongoing research to use Kratom plants as analgesic, anti-inflammatory drugs, and detoxification aids for substance addiction, offering natural alternatives to chemical medications.

Researchers from Chula Faculty of Science invented an easy-to-use “Cat Urine Test Kit” to screen for the risk of kidney disease, gallstones, and cystitis in cats. The test kit provides fast and accurate results, so cats can be treated promptly.

All cat lovers want to see their beloved kitties happy and healthy.  But cats, like humans, face various illnesses, especially the most common among cats today including kidney disease, gallstones, and bladder infection (cystitis).
