Prof. Ying CHAU's Team Wins Top Prizes for Innovative Cell Cultivation Technology
Prof. Ying CHAU's team, Allegrow, has won the Platinum and GF Innovation Awards at the HKUST-Sino One Million Dollar Entrepreneurship Competition 2023.
The team developed a new artificial cell cultivation technology that optimizes the production process of immune cells, reducing production costs by up to 48% compared to current methods, and saving up to 33% of production time per product. Allegrow's technology will greatly improve production efficiency, reduce patient waiting time and medical expenses, and make cell therapy more accessible to the public.
Congratulations to Prof. Chau and the Allegrow team for their outstanding achievement!
