C<\/span>OVID-19 shook the world. Global tourism plummeted. Cruise ships and planes sat idle. Global trade also seemed threatened. Hence, many predicted the end of\u00a0<\/span>globalisation<\/span>. But has this happened? Global trade wasn’t badly dented. Indeed, it has bounced back, even between the US and China. The widely predicted re-shoring or near-shoring of supply chains hasn’t happened. The law of comparative advantage still holds true. This conference will explore the real long-term impact of the pandemic. Did it kill\u00a0<\/span>globalisation<\/span>? Or was it a temporary pause with\u00a0<\/span>globalisation<\/span>\u00a0poised to bounce back fiercely when the pandemic finally recedes? These questions are extremely important for the future of both ASEAN and Singapore.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Synopsis:<\/span><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>For the past 18 months, there has been an amazing amount of research done to understand and fight the pandemic. There has been an equally mind-boggling amount of misinformation and doubt surrounding the COVID-19\u2019s infection, vaccination, medicine, and research. Here to help us cut through the noise and discuss key issues are expert clinicians from the National University of Singapore (NUS). Their experience in managing COVID at the National University Hospital (NUH), contributing to Singapore’s national response, as well as global education through the regular NUS and WHO\u2019s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) CUFS webinars has led them to worldwide recognition. Come prepared to ask questions!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Talk: \u201cWhen minimal is maximal; for the patient, our campus, and beyond – the era of less invasive, personalised surgical solutions\u201d<\/span><\/b> by <\/span>Associate Professor Theodoros Kofidis, <\/strong>Head, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic & Vascular Surgery, National University Hospital<\/p>\n

Synopsis:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Less Invasive procedures aim at reducing the trauma, improving recovery and facilitating a much better and faster patient journey. Despite Hi-Tec employed, such platforms also make socio-economical sense. We are employing cutting edge technology, but also \u2013 at NUS \u2013 strive to create our own, in our pursuit to establish a strong cardiovascular medtech hub, and emphasise Singapore\u2019s role as a \u201cplayer\u201d on modern heart therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Synopsis: <\/span><\/b>Vision disorder ranks as one of the top disease\u00a0burden\u00a0in terms of economic impact and loss of quality of life, above other chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension. Currently, ophthalmic care is an inaccessible centralised concept of tertiary care that cannot cope with the increasing demands of chronic eye disease in an aging population. Our solution aims to utilise a hybrid of novel technology to transform community eye care for long term sustainability and scalability.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Synopsis<\/b>: Life, as we know it, evolved in an electromagnetic realm. Hence, biochemistry is set to threshold under weak magnetic fields such as that which naturally envelops the Earth. Our scientific strategy is to exploit this innate biological imperative to promote tissue regeneration and human health. Today I will outline our initial achievements at the National University of Singapore in this endeavour.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Mr Dennis Mak<\/span><\/b>, Chief Executive Officer, AVECRIS Pte Ltd and Dr Volker Patzel<\/b>, <\/span>Senior Lecturer, NUS Department of Microbiology & Immunology \/ AVECRIS <\/span>Pte Ltd<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Synopsis<\/b>: Dennis and Volker will discuss the technologies they are developing at AVECRIS Pte Ltd. AVECRIS is a technology spinoff from NUS School of Medicine. For the past 12 years, Volker and his lab have been developing genetic engineering platform technologies that solve key problems in gene therapy, specifically, the ability to deliver gene therapy into cells efficiently and with high levels of long-lasting protein translation. AVECRIS solves these problems by developing its novel advanced dumbbell-shaped DNA vectors that are able to deliver gene therapy into the cell and nucleus efficiently. A second genetic engineering technology called RNA trans-splicing allows the delivered gene to express only in the intended cell type. This level of cell-type specific gene expression is unprecedented. AVECRIS\u2019s platform can also uniquely deliver RNA and DNA into the mitochondria, which will enable mitochondrial gene therapy. With stable, long-lasting protein expression, cell-type specific gene expression and a highly scalable and low cost manufacturing process, AVECRIS will usher in a new era of precision, programmable genetic medicine that will take us beyond the capabilities of mRNA.<\/p>\n
