Whether caring for patients, conducting research, developing new therapies, or serving communities, our graduates are guided by professionalism, ethical responsibility, MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN HKUMed researchers have developed the world’s first nasal spray for ischemic stroke – a portable, easy-to-use intervention that protects the brain during the first critical moments after a stroke. By bypassing the blood-brain barrier, it delivers neuroprotective medication directly to the brain. In preclinical studies, administration within 30 minutes of a stroke reduced brain damage by more than 80% while preserving neurological function. The award-winning innovation could transform stroke treatment worldwide and pave the way for new therapies for other brain disorders. Led by Professor Aviva Chow Shing-fung of HKUMed’s Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy and Dr Shao Zitong of the InnoHK Advanced Biomedical Instrumentation Centre (ABIC). The nasal spray enables patients to receive early protection en route to hospital, significantly slowing the death of brain cells and buying valuable time for subsequent treatments.
