“I came because of research. I stayed because this is where ideas become reality.”

Mukhit Kulmaganbetov grew up in a rural village in Kazakhstan. As he studied medicine, he realised that to make a bigger impact, he needed to keep learning beyond his hometown. He moved to Hong Kong in 2021 after graduating his PhD in the UK.

Hong Kong has given him more than funding. It provided an ecosystem where research could become a real product that helps patients. He came here for research, clinical application, entrepreneurship and international connectivity.
