EBV is a ubiquitous human herpes virus, which spreads through saliva. Infection is very common and most people get EBV when they were young, but they will not experience any symptoms until they get older.

As one of eight known human herpes virus types in the herpes family, EBV infects over 90% of the human population. Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) is one of EBV associated cancers where the highest NPC incidence rate is found in South China including Hong Kong. Early detection and treatment contribute to a higher survival rate.

Prof. Wong and Dr. Lung have invented new EBV-specific targeted therapy which specifically kills cancer cells without affecting any normal cells. The uptake of this drug can also be traced by the fluorescent signal and that can be used for cancer cells imaging.
