Health assessment

We apply diagnostic imaging (ultrasound, X-ray, CT, MRI) to evaluate the biological health profile of various zoological and wildlife species (cetaceans, chelonians, crocodilians, pinnipeds, elasmobranchs, and many more...)

Stranding investigation

We apply the virtopsy (postmortem imaging) approach on stranded cetaceans and sea turtles to investigate their biological health profile and cause of stranding, both locally and worldwide

Dolphin survey

We conduct routine boat surveys to compile a photo-identification catalogue of the resident Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Chinese white dolphins) inhabiting the Lantau waters, and evaluate the visual health conditions (nutritional status, skin lesions, infections, wounds...)

Specimen documentation

We document different bones and skeletons of aquatic animals kept in universities, museums, and even temples around the world using 3D surface scanning for research and conservation

Professional training

We provide professional education and hands-on training to students and personnel in veterinary medicine and forensic science

Innovative technology

We utilize virtopsy datasets to develop a Virtual Reality package on immersive and interactive simulation of CT scan and aquatic animal dissection as an alternative pedagogy for medical or anatomical training

Symposium and workshop

We organize symposia and workshops every year for international experts, academics and any interested parties to exchange knowledge and experience in wildlife research and conservation

Global collaboration

We work with different aquariums, rescue centres, museums and governmental agencies to exchange ideas and conduct research on various species around the world

Public outreach

We conduct seminars and workshops for general public and school kids of diverse backgrounds to advocate marine literacy and conservation awareness

Commmunity engagement

We organize beach cleanups and guided tours for university students to protect the habitat of aquatic megafaunas and advocate marine conservation
