1、The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has made a major breakthrough in scientific research, using artificial intelligence for the first time to predict the early risk of Alzheimer's disease. A research team led by Prof. Ye Yuru, President of HKUST and Prof. Chen Lei of HKUST, recently developed an artificial intelligence model that uses genetic information to accurately predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease before symptoms appear. This breakthrough research opens the way for using deep learning methods to predict disease risk and reveal its molecular mechanisms, which will revolutionize the diagnosis, intervention, treatment and clinical research of Alzheimer's disease and other common diseases such as cardiovascular diseases.

2、The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology welcomes the first Hong Kong Laureate Forum press group to demonstrate its scientific research strength. On June 6, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology received more than 20 journalists from more than ten media organizations from mainland China, South Korea, Vietnam and Thailand to visit Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. At the invitation of the Laureate Forum, Professor Guo Yike, the chief vice president of HKUST, greeted the delegation in person. The reporters then visited the Aerodynamics and Acoustics Experimental Center, the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience, the Biocryo-EM Center, and the Nanosystem Manufacturing Experiment center.

3. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) General Education Curriculum System Seminar was successfully held. The conference was hosted by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) School of Educational Sciences and the Institute of Educational Innovation and Practice. More than 20 experts and scholars from 13 top universities were invited to discuss and demonstrate the general education curriculum system of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). And the construction direction and practice plan of "Course Knowledge Module Supermarket". At the meeting, the guests spoke freely and put forward practical and practical opinions and suggestions, pointing out all aspects of the education system that need to be improved.

4. Dr. Yin Ran from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Professor He Chun from Sun Yat-Sen University jointly published a research paper to discuss whether nitrate is the "friend" or "enemy" of far ultraviolet water disinfection. This article is the first to provide an overview of the existing research on the removal of emerging trace organic pollutants in water using novel far-ultraviolet (220–230 nm). The research team determined the photolysis rate, molar absorptivity, and quantum yield of eight common water treatment oxidants at 222 nm and 254 nm through experiments and model fitting. The article also puts forward the challenges that may be encountered when using this new type of ultraviolet light in the treatment of different water quality water bodies, and puts forward the prospect of the methods to deal with the challenges. The views and prospects expressed in the article are of guiding significance for the development of new far-ultraviolet technology to treat new pollutants in water. The article was published recently in Water Research.
