City U students' business plans to market fish technology win top international awards

Hong Kong: Three students from different faculties at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have created an award winning business plan aimed at marketing transgenic fish technology developed by scientists at CityU. The technology detects estrogen disruptors in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and plastics in an efficient, cost-effective way. 


Estrogen disruptors are substances that interfere with the hormonal system in the body, a growing concern worldwide. The CityU researchers had found that their new testing mechanism was around 60% more efficient compared to existing chemical tests.
