The first CRF Monthly Meeting was held at the Interdisciplinary Multi-function Room (G7603, YEUNG) on 2 June 2021.  All CRF Co-Principal Investigators and their research team members participated in this meeting. 

This kick-off meeting provided a great opportunity and platform to exchange views, visions and research experiences in the FIVE major tasks.  It is a unique opportunity for the young scientists and researchers from various disciplines to tackle the grand challenges and public health problems through developing new solutions by using food waste-derived non-woven medical textiles via electrospinning for healthcare apparel to limit the transmission of airborne COVID-19 and Novel Infectious Disease for protection of patents and healthcare workers.
