Analytic and Clinical Cooperative Laboratory for Integrative Medicine

The Analytic and Clinical Cooperative Laboratory for Integrative Medicine (ACCLAIM), a laboratory for big-data research, has been recently established by The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Sydney to serve as a platform for scientists and clinicians to share the best of information technology, data analysis, and clinical research for the advancement of evidence-based integrative medicine.

The inaugural symposium was held on 15 and 16 July 2016. Officiating guests of the opening ceremony included Hon. Dr. Helen Sham-ho (4th left), OAM-JP, former Vice President of the Legislative Council of New South Wales, Australia, and Dr. Cheung Wai-lun (3rd right), Director (Cluster Services) of Hospital Authority. The symposium gathered more than 100 Chinese and integrative medicine experts from Australia, UK, US, mainland China and Hong Kong to share knowledge, experience and insights on the application of big-data analysis in biomedical science, clinical diagnosis as well as medical and scientific research.
