Centralized Research Laboratory Facilities
Faculty of Dentistry

The University of Hong Kong is a leading Asian research-led university, and since its establishment in 1982 the Faculty of Dentistry has wholeheartedly pursued excellence in dental research. In 2004 the Faculty reviewed its research structures, with a view to developing an environment more conducive for research. As a result of this review the Faculty has recently centralized the management of its four research laboratories. The Faculty's internal communication systems have been streamlined, and 24-hour access has been provided to all laboratories. To enable faculty staff and postgraduate students planning research projects or applying for grants to become more familiar with the laboratory equipment available, the Faculty has listed the function of each of its major pieces of research equipment. A summary of this list was printed in the Faculty's Annual Research Publications 2003-04, and was warmly welcomed by potential users. We have now posted a fuller version of this list on our website. The list refers to previous research projects that have utilized specific pieces of equipment, gives related web information sources, and specifies the technician responsible for providing advice.

Queries on specific pieces of research equipment should be directed to the responsible technicians, and general enquiries to the technician-in-charge, Mr Tony Yuen (Tel: 2859 0377).
