To Inspire and Prepare the Next Generation of Scientists

One of the key ideas that inspired our founder, Professor Tam Wing-On, Joseph, to establish Pangenia Group (in the name of DiagCor Bioscience Incorporation Limited) 13 years ago is to share his passion for Molecular Diagnostics and make the company a “Scientist Incubator”. Therefore, Pangenia Group offers a range of programs for primary and secondary students, undergraduate, graduate students, and faculty. We aim to inspire and prepare the next generation of scientists, engineers and technologists in Hong Kong’s biotechnology industry through these programs.

Pangenia Group recently arranged two career talks. On 20 July, We arranged students from College of Engineering, City University of Hong Kong to visit Pangenia’s Laboratory. And on 22 July, Pangenia Group and Mason Group, our affiliated company, co-hosted a career talk.
