Title城大憑快速早期癌症檢測 日內瓦國際發明展獲金獎
Description早前於4月中舉行的「第47屆日內瓦國際發明展」上，香港城市大學材料科學及工程學系副教授兼太赫茲及毫米波國家重點實驗室成員華禮生博士、化學系林漢華教授、Shishir Venkatesh博士等的團隊，所發明的「快速檢測器：由食物安全以至非入侵性早期癌症檢測」榮獲金獎。這套快速檢測系統，將有助提升前列腺癌患者的存活率。

此外，由生物醫學系系主任兼楊建文生物醫學講座教授楊夢甦教授，以及鄒恒博士、余瑋健博士等組成的團隊，所發明的「用於藥物篩選及分子診斷的納米擴增微流控陣列技術」亦奪金獎。該項目可用於篩選各種抗癌藥物，能夠測試治療效果，找出最有效的藥物及最佳劑量。

Title港城大科研項目獲日內瓦國際發明展兩項金獎
Description近日，第47屆日內瓦國際發明展在瑞士日內瓦舉行，是次展覽展出了全球各地的創新發明。記者了解到，香港城市大學研究團隊在此次展覽中，榮獲了四個獎項，包括兩項金獎和兩項銀獎。獲得金獎的項目分別為，非入侵性早期癌症檢測器和納米擴增微流控陣列技術。

此次獲得金獎的快速檢測器是由香港城大材料科學及工程學系副教授兼太赫茲及毫米波國家重點實驗室成員華禮生博士，化學系林漢華教授及他們的團隊發明的「快速檢測器：由食物安全以至非入侵性早期癌症檢測」。香港城大團隊研發的新系統，原本是針對檢測食物中的污染物，檢測限可低於百萬分之0.2。系統配備納米傳感器，運用手機APP就能當場預先篩選食物樣本，在10-25分鐘內檢測出食物是否含有組胺和甲醛。此後，研究團隊進一步改進這個快速檢測系統，用作檢測癌症的生物標記，例如作為前列腺癌的非入侵性檢測，從尿液樣本中檢測前列腺癌生物標記。由於早期檢測有助患者提高治癒機會，所以這套快速檢測系統將有助提高前列腺癌患者的存活率。

另一項金獎則由香港城大生物醫學系系主任兼楊建文生物醫學講座教授楊夢甦教授及其團隊發明的「用於藥物篩選及分子診斷的納米擴增微流控陣列技術」奪得。這項技術使用了專門設計的微流控芯片，可以形成單細胞與腫瘤球狀體陣列，用於篩選各種抗癌藥物，通過監測這些藥物不同濃度梯度對癌細胞及腫瘤球陣列組合的影響， 這個篩選平台能夠測試藥物的治療效果，以找出最有效的藥物及最佳藥物劑量。在集成了基於納米信號放大的編碼微珠陣列上，該平台亦可對基因突變和感染病原菌作高靈敏度的多重檢測。基因突變的檢測有助確定針對癌症的藥物治療標靶，而檢測感染病原菌可從疾病控制、早期診斷或治療等方面造福人類。
