Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye!

The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos!

My former PhD student @kwcecilia and I presented our gold nanomedicine for chronic kidney disease in Genève last week. Merci beaucoup @laliberte for reporting our work to Swiss readers! We saw Mont Blanc from afar!

Yes 🌟Gold nanoparticle is not just for imaging or for the study of their biodistribution. Gold nanoparticle is self-therapeutic.

@SamuelSy20 @PNASNews @cc_szeto @LeoooooooLee @Reeeeeese1 @bohanyin @jchchoilab Thank you Samuel!!

[Cecilia Chan @kwcecilia]

🌟I am so happy that our work is online @PNASNews. Thank you to all my co-authors Prof. Szeto @cc_szeto, @LeoooooooLee, @Reeeeeese1, @bohanyin, John, and Prof. James Lau. Forever grateful. And of course, a super big thank you to my PhD supervisor, Prof. Jonathan Choi @jchchoilab

[Jonathan Choi Lab @jchchoilab]

🔥 New paper alert!🔥 Our work on folic acid-conjugated gold nanoparticles for treating renal fibrosis is online @PNASNews. I am indebted to @kwcecilia for her resilience and collaborators Prof. James Lau, @cc_szeto, and my team for support since 2016.

Our new #endoscopic surgical robot system #EndoR won the 2023 #RedDotAward (@reddot), an international acclaimed design award. This is the 1st surgical robotic platform fully developed in #HongKong to receive this award. The #robot system has earlier won the Gold Medal with Congratulations of the Jury at the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva.

I remember doing a presentation on purple tomatoes in one of my biotech courses in UG and now it’s approved!

[Maddie Hall @maddiehalla]

Yesterday was a historic day in plant biotech: a purple tomato engineered with high antioxidants was approved by @USDA @BigPurpleTomato helps prevent cardiovascular disease and fight cancer in humans.
This approval under new regulation ushers in a new era for plant synbio!

🔥New paper alert! ⚡️Our PhD student @huize_li came up with a cool way of delivering DNA nanostructures to the cell nucleus by activating cellular mechanotransduction. No transfection agents or signaling peptides. Check out @NanoLetters! Congrats!
