State-of-the-art BSL-3 laboratories and animal facilities are available for researchers to conduct microbiological, virological and epidemiological studies.
The Centre for Comparative Medicine Research (CCMR) is an AAALAC International accredited service centre responsible for the breeding of specific pathogen free laboratory animals for research and teaching, and promotion of humane care and responsible usage of laboratory animals in the University.
The Centre for PanorOmic Sciences (CPOS) was established to further strengthen the provision and development of cutting-edge technological platforms and support/services for researchers. It reinforces research and training components to complement the surge in multi-omics big data.

The Transgenic Core Facility (CCMR-TCF), being a part of the CCMR, supports the Faculty in research by preserving valuable transgenic mouse lines through embryo/sperm cryopreservation, re-derivation and rescue of mouse colonies using assisted reproductive technology, and generating novel transgenic and gene targeted mice for researchers to study various disease models. The mission of TCF is to provide an efficient centralised service to support HKU’s cutting-edge research involving genetically modified animals.
The School of Public Health has been designated as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Control. The designation of HKU School of Public Health as a WHO CC is the first of such kind at the University.
The Centre of Influenza Research at HKU is one of 12 laboratories worldwide designated as a WHO H5 reference laboratory. Its mandate is to provide international reference laboratory services and training on H5 and other animal influenza viruses with zoonotic potential, to provide WHO with data and risk assessment relevant to such zoonotic threats and advice on selection of relevant viruses for pre-pandemic vaccine development.
