Hong-Kong in 1906

Science does not make claim to any country, for knowledge is the heritage of humanity, the torch that lights up the world

I invincibly believe that science and peace will triumph over ignorance and war, that peoples will unite not to destroy but to edify, and that the future will belong to those who will have done the most for suffering humanity

Louis Pasteur

The rest of this site is regularly modernized (see drop-down menus at the top of this page). The history of the Bacillus subtilis genome program is summarized here. A presentation of the work at the HKUPRC Ltd joint venture was summarized during the Hong Kong Innovation Expo in 2001. Note that the Centre was dismantled in 2010. Antoine Danchin remained Honorary Professor at the School of Biomedical Sciences, Li Kashing Faculty of Medicine until 2024.
