Our CEO Dr. Aldrin Yim and CTO Dr. Allen Yu, along with Professor Edwin Chan from the School of Life Sciences at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, were invited by Metro Broadcase to participate in the radio program “學無止境”. We are very grateful for the opportunity to share biomedical knowledge on Metro Radio to uncover the secrets of genes and explain the significance of genetic testing, sharing our knowledge of the biotechnology industry with the audience.
In their conversation with the host, Dr. Yim and Dr. Yu discussed the reasons behind inherited diseases, explaining that these diseases can be divided into congenital (such as spinocerebellar atrophy and cryoblastic syncytia) and acquired (such as cancer), and also emphasized the importance of genetic testing in early identification and treatment of late-onset diseases and determining the applicability of targeted therapies for cancer patients. "Our company's goal is to introduce more affordable, efficient and rapid genetic testing through our unremitting efforts," said Dr. Yu.
Dr Yim said that in addition to providing genetic testing services, Cosmed is also using artificial intelligence and data science, as well as biomedical and genetic knowledge, to develop a platform that aims to improve the effectiveness, accuracy and speed of clinical trials and advance the progress of new drug development in Hong Kong.
Dr. Yim and Dr. Yu also shared valuable advice for young people who aspire to join the science industry. Dr. Yu encouraged them not to be afraid of failure and to be brave enough to try new things. Dr. Yim emphasized that learning how to ask the right questions is one of the most critical skills there is.
