.:OTHER EID RESEARCH

Background
New and unforeseen infections have continued to pose threats to human populations around the world, and Hong Kong is no exception. Apart from specially themed research on SARS, HIV and Influenza, other studies are developed by CEID to fill knowledge gaps and to enhance our preparedness should infectious diseases threat emerge.

The common characteristics of this set of research activities are : -
Firstly, the interdisciplinary nature of studies, requiring the support of expertise in diverse disciplines in the academia, and secondly, the potential risk of the risk of the infections in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and / or the region.
 
Projects
The following is a list of projects on other emerging infections:-:
  1. Early rapid direct detection of drug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputa of smear-positive cases-a pilot study
  2. Subtyping of viral genotypes by mass spectrometry
  3. Immunogenetics study in tuberculosis
  4. Molecular surveillance of enteric contamination of shellfish in Hong Kong
  5. Natural history of cervicovaginal papillomavirus infections in immunocompetent and immunocompromised Chinese women
  6. Molecular basis for the telomere dysfunction and anti-tumor activities of a C-terminal polypeptide of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERTC27)
  7. Study of a novel pathway that links small G protein to neuronal differentiation-Regulation of the neuronal cdc2-like kinase by chimacrin
  8. Characterizing the role of P13K signalling cascade in Xenopus neural induction
  9. Research and development of a new TCM-based antidepressant
  10. Functional characterization of Makorin-2 and its interacting proteins in Xenopus embryonic development
  11. Transcriptional and functional regulation of TBX3 in retina formation
  12. The mechanisms of a novel HCC-associated oncogene (HCAO) in hepatocellular carcinogenesis
  13. Quantitative viral subtyping with MADLI-TOF mass spectrometry
    14.
