Professors Wei Jia and Clara Lau Bik-san have been recruited in the area of integrative medicine and Professor Peter Tanuseputro in family medicine. We are now in the process of recruiting directors for the Medical Ethics and Humanities Unit, Integrative/Chinese Medicine and biomedical engineering, and a chair of anaesthesiology.
