Centre for Food and Genomic Medicine

The Centre for Food and Genomic Medicine (CFGM) is a translational research organization based in Hong Kong, established by The Chinese University of Hong Kong under the government's InnoHK initiative. The center focuses on the intersection of genomics, gut microbiome, and nutrition to develop personalized medicine solutions for metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. By leveraging large-scale multi-omics data and advanced bioinformatics, CFGM aims to identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets to improve disease prevention and management. Its research portfolio includes the development of microbiome-based diagnostics and live biotherapeutic products tailored for the Asian population. CFGM operates as a bridge between basic scientific discovery and clinical application, collaborating with global academic institutions and industry partners to advance precision medicine.
