Popular Science Lecture on Gene

Story of the 21st Century

The characteristics of a living cell are determined by its genetic makeup--the instructions contained in biological messages called genes. The techniques of molecular biology, in particular genetic engineering, allow scientists to detect and modify individual genes in plants and animals, leading to faster and more accurate breeding programs and diagnosis of inherited diseases. Through similar techniques, genetic fingerprinting can also identify individuals from samples of their genetic material alone.

In this presentation, Dr Albert C H Yu will reveal the mystery of genes and demonstrate how the science of genetic engineering possibilities for the biomedical and agricultural industries of the 21st century.

Dr Yu joined the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 1994 as an assistant professor. His research focuses on nerve cell culturing, biotechnology, and genetic studies. Dr Yu actively contributes to the promotion of his discipline on the Chinese

Mainland and also serves as a council member of many professional societies.

The lecture has been jointly organized by HKUST and the HK

Science Museum as part of this year's Popular Science Lecture Series. Program details are as follows:
