During the exhibition, Prof. George Wencai Du, Dean of the USJ Institute of Data Engineering and Science, presented the innovative result of the “portable tumor risk diagnostic Instrument”, developed by the “IDEAS-Wumin High-tech Joint Laboratory for Health Risk Digital Diagnosis and Equipment”.



The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) participated as a co-organiser in the “Science and Technology Week 2024 and Exhibition of Achievements in Science and Technology Innovation,” held at The Venetian Macao. This event that kicked-off on October 16 was organised by the Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT) and supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China, and it stands as a pivotal annual gathering for promoting technological advancements in the region.

Aligned with the Macao SAR Government’s “1+4” economic diversification strategy, this exhibition invites scientific institutes, technology enterprises, and stakeholders from Macao, Hengqin, and neighbouring areas to showcase their innovative breakthroughs. The event serves as a dynamic platform for collaboration, fostering partnerships between universities and industry leaders to drive research commercialisation and enhance industry-university-research cooperation.

During the exhibition, Prof. George Wencai Du, Dean of the Institute of Data Engineering and Science (IDEAS) of USJ, presented the innovative result of the “portable tumor risk diagnostic Instrument” which was developed by the “IDEAS-Wumin High-tech Joint Laboratory for Health Risk Digital Diagnosis and Equipment”. This innovative tool utilises big data and artificial intelligence to detect cancer risks by analysing micro-vibration data (frequency and spectrum) from human cells and tissues.

IDEAS at USJ actively engages in industry-university-research cooperation, having established eight joint research and development laboratories in recent years. These initiatives aim to enhance technological innovation and deliver impactful solutions to pressing health challenges.
