In this talk, Mr. Daniel Lau, an experienced Medical Laboratory Technologist and Council Member of the Hong Kong Institute of Medical Laboratory Sciences, shares his personal journey of translating frontline laboratory findings into real-world diagnostic innovations and commercial products.

Using real case studies from his own portfolio (including Hong Kong’s first published work on thyrocardiac disease), he will highlight actionable strategies for medical laboratory professionals and researchers to cross the “valley of death” and turn scientific discoveries into tangible clinical and societal impact.

Ideal for anyone interested in medical laboratory science in Hong Kong’s healthcare ecosystem.
