Description: HKU Immunology & Allergy is a team of dedicated healthcare professionals and research staff devoted to improving the management of immunologic disorders with evidence-based medicine. Being part of the Division of Rheumatology & Clinical Immunology of the Department of Medicine (School of Clinical Medicine, HKU), our multi-disciplinary team is built upon a strong belief in translational clinical research – with patients informing our scientific direction at the laboratory bench, and focusing on translating outcomes of our findings back to the bedside.
By also offering comprehensive undergraduate and postgraduate training, our team also endeavours to nurture competent and passionate medical, nursing and other healthcare professionals to care for our patients. The ultimate aim is to contribute to improvements in health and development of Immunology & Allergy services in Hong Kong and beyond.

Based in Queen Mary Hospital and Grantham Hospital, we have also taken up a leading position in the development of clinical immunology and allergy services in Hong Kong. As the foremost and only recognised training centre for Immunology & Allergy, our team has been responsible for the training of local specialists as well as other immunology/allergy healthcare professionals since 2021.
