Scholars from Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) showcased their innovative research projects at the 50th International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva and were recognized with nine awards, including Gold Medals. Among the award-winning projects were a novel herbal formulation for ulcerative colitis by Professor Bian Zhaoxiang and Professor Tan Hor-yue, a method for producing an unusual monoterpenoid by Professor Liao Pan, and advanced catalysts for green hydrogen production from biomass waste by Professor Zhao Jun. The herbal formulation, CDD-2103, aims to help maintain remission in ulcerative colitis patients with a combination of Chinese herbal medicines, while the monoterpenoid production method offers a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach for the fragrance industry. The catalyst system for green hydrogen production provides a sustainable alternative to traditional methods with high efficiency and low operating costs. Other projects include a broad-spectrum sunscreen technology by Professor Jill Chiu and Dr Jenny Ng, and a chitin production method using green ionic liquid by Professor Matthew Lui. These projects contribute to various industries by offering solutions that are efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
