Recognition Given to CUHK Research Associate and Graduate Student The Ph.D. thesis of Dr. Chen Wei Qing, currently a research associate at the Department of Community and Family Medicine, won the Occupational Safety and Health Best Project Award for 2000-1. The award was conferred by the Occupational Safety and Health Council to the three best research projects on occupational health in Hong Kong, among a list of 14 this year. The council held a prize presentation on 18th November at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Entitled 'Occupational Stress and Its Influence on Workers' Health in Off-shore Oil Industry in China', Dr. Chen's project was nominated by Prof. T.W. Wong, his supervisor when pursuing Ph.D. studies at the University. The web-site (http://ihome.cuhk.edu.hk/~b400559/array.html) of Mr. Y.F. Leung, a graduate student at the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, was described by Science Magazine as a 'diverse collection of annotated links' that is useful to 'novices keen to learn the basics of gene chips' and 'seasoned pros' alike. The site, which covers life science research fields, including functional genomics, microarray, proteomics, bioinformatics, and complex disease trait mapping, has been used widely by the international scientific community, and is linked up to institutes such as the US National Institute of Health, MIT, the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the European Bioinformatics Institute, and Peking University.
