Eight current faculty members and two emeritus professors from the Department of Biology at Hong Kong Baptist University have been recognised among the World’s Top 2% Most-Cited Scientists 2026, a prestigious ranking compiled by Stanford University.
This recognition celebrates the scholars’ significant research contributions and underscores the Department’s ongoing research excellence and expanding global impact across a range of disciplines. It also showcases the breadth of biological research at HKBU, where work spans molecular, cell and developmental biology; environmental, health and ecology; and bioresource and agriculture.
The Department congratulates all eight faculty members and two emeritus professors on this well-deserved recognition. Their achievement is a source of pride for the HKBU community and an inspiration to colleagues and students pursuing discovery and innovation in biology.
