【媒體報導】由港大公共衞生學院臨床實務教授葉啟明教授領導的
「香港大學吸煙人士健康同行計劃 HKU Health Companion Programme for Smokers」，致力填補本地肺癌篩查數據缺口。計劃旨在招募15,000名50至79歲、吸煙量達20「包年」或以上的最高風險族群，進行為期10年的健康跟進。葉教授指出，透過結合低劑量電腦掃描（LDCT）與人工智能（AI）協助分析肺結節屬性，期望透過項目為政府制定本地肺癌篩查政策提供關鍵數據，以達到及早發現、降低死亡率的目標，實踐預防勝於治療。

【In the Media】Professor Dennis Ip, Clinical Professor of Practice, is leading the "HKU Health Companion Programme for Smokers" to address the gap in local lung cancer screening data. The project aims to recruit 15,000 highest-risk individuals aged 50 to 79 with a smoking history of 20 pack-years or more, and to follow up with them over10 years. Professor Ip points out that by combining low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) with artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse pulmonary nodules, the team expects to provide critical data for formulating local screening policies, ultimately achieving early detection, reducing mortality, and promoting prevention over treatment.

此計劃由香港賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助，並由香港大學公共衞生學院及香港大學內科學系聯合主辦，聯同六個非政府組織合作推行。Funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the programme is jointly organised by the School of Public Health and the HKU Department of Medicine at The University of Hong Kong, in collaboration with six community NGO partners.

We were honoured to welcome back Professor Keiji Fukuda, former Director (2017-2021), for an inspiring session titled “Career Development in Today’s Global Public Health Landscape.”

Drawing on his experience as former Assistant Director-General at the World Health Organization (WHO) and Chief of Epidemiology of the Influenza Branch at the U.S. CDC, Professor Fukuda shared invaluable insights on disease control, career planning, and professional growth in global public health.

It was wonderful to see our MPH and BASc(GHD) students, alumni, and visiting secondary school students joining the discussion. 💬✨

【In the Media】A research team led by Professor Leo P**n and Dr Gu Haogao has developed an innovative global viral genomic blueprint. The study demonstrates that monitoring international travellers at just two key aviation hubs can detect new viral variants days earlier than traditional methods, even when global resources are limited.

📊【Latest Research】A new study led by Professor Tim Tsang, Assistant Professor of the , and Dr Weijia Xiong investigate how individual antibody titres can be used to measure population-level immunity against seasonal influenza. By analysing 41,835 serum samples across six studies in China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and the USA from 2009–2024, the team developed and evaluated four population immunity estimators to improve epidemic preparedness.

🔍 Key Highlights:
✅ Subtype-specific relative changes successfully predicted 57–86% of H1N1-dominant seasons and 100% of H3N2-dominant seasons.
✅ The estimators correctly predicted larger epidemics in 67–83% of cases and smaller epidemics in 90–100% of cases.
✅ In a longitudinal Hong Kong cohort, all four estimators showed negative correlations with subsequent 30-day cumulative incidence for H1N1.

These complementary estimators provide insights to guide seasonal influenza preparedness, surveillance prioritisation, and healthcare resource planning.

The paper is accompanied by an invited Commentary from Professor Jessica Metcalf and colleagues at Princeton University and the University of Oxford.
