Call for Mentors: HKUMed TTU Student Ambassador Scheme 2026–27

We are pleased to announce the launch of the HKUMed Technology Transfer Unit (TTU) Student Ambassador Scheme 2026–27 — a new initiative designed to foster innovation, entrepreneurship, and translational mindsets among HKU students and to nurture the next generation of biomedical leaders. To support this programme, we are now inviting industry professionals to serve as Mentors.

Become a Mentor and Shape Tomorrow’s Biomedical Leaders

TTU Student Ambassadors are passionate undergraduate and postgraduate students from HKU who aspire to explore biotech, healthcare innovation, and entrepreneurship beyond the classroom. Through hands‑on experiences and engagement with the innovation ecosystem, they develop skills that empower them to translate ideas into real‑world impact.

• Biotech and pharmaceutical industries
