HKUST Startup Biorocks Claims Victory at Prestigious Expand North Star 2024

Expand North Star 2024 is the world's leading entrepreneurship and investment event. At this prestigious event, advanced biotechnology company Biorocks was the sole company selected from the entire Greater Bay Area. Their cutting-edge IVF automation technology has won them first place, and an elusive invitation to participate in the event as the only fully funded exhibition quota from the organizing committee. 

 

Biorocks – co-founded by HKUST alumni Dr. Ervin Shu, CEO, and Dr. Honam Chan, CTO – is the first in the world to launch a high throughput, fully automated embryo vitrification device. The device is three times more efficient than traditional manual methods and significantly improves the standardization of assisted reproductive technology. As fertility rates decline and infertility rates rise around the globe, providing this highly reliable solution for infertile patients has become particularly crucial. In addition, this innovative solution serves as an important contribution to the advancement of the livestock breeding industry.  

 

Securing first place at the Expand North Star 2024 stands as a testament to the remarkable impact of Biorocks’ innovative IVF technology. We extend our greatest congratulations to Biorocks for this outstanding achievement, and eagerly anticipate their future endeavours and successes!
