A particularly noteworthy research field at UM is precision medicine for cancer research. The university initiated research in precision medicine in 2013, and today it has developed a team of leading experts in the field. Working together and adopting a multidisciplinary approach, these experts have achieved many impressive results that are widely recognised in academia. This issue’s cover story focuses on cancer research. We interview 17 experts in the Faculty of Health Sciences, Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences, and Institute of Microelectronics. They discuss how their ongoing research projects hold the promise for improving cancer treatment by using the latest technologies in precision medicine. On the front of humanities and social sciences, the newly established Institute of Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences is committed to creating a university-level research platform that breaks down the boundaries of different disciplines. In this issue, we talk to Vice Rector Billy So, who is also the interim director of the institute, about how the institute plans to recruit high-calibre talent to carry out special research projects, as well as the strategic plan for the institute’s future development. With the novel coronavirus raging across the globe earlier this year, many people, especially frontline workers and those in quarantine, found themselves grappling with a silent problem— mental health issues. Prof Brian Hall in the Department of Psychology rose to the challenge and, along with eight other UM experts, he formed a psychological counselling team to provide counselling to people in need. In this issue, Prof Hall shares his research findings on mental health, a subject of his perennial interest. Prof Sun Guoxing in the Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering was the first in the world to propose using cement to make the world’s cheapest, mass-producible nanoparticles. Interestingly, as a brilliant researcher who has developed a world-record-breaking material, Sun was quite unimpressive in his college years and monopolised the bottom spot in his class. If you want a real-life example that proves persistence is the key to success, you need to look no further than Prof Sun’s story. Other articles not to be missed in this issue include those featured in the ‘Academic Research’ column, which discuss the latest research findings by Lei Ka Meng, an assistant professor in the Institute of Microelectronics, and Iong Man Teng, a senior instructor in the Faculty of Law. 編者的話 EDITOR’S WORDS 張惠琴 Katrina Cheong
