Join Prof Brian Kennedy and Prof Andrea Maier of the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and leading scientists, thinkers, businessmen and policymakers in our inaugural Healthy Longevity webinar series, as they present fresh insights from aging research and the implications for our personal health and the world we live in.
In this Healthy Longevity series, we envision a gamut of disciplines from academic research to industrial markets to address critical healthcare concerns in the world today. These strategies broadly include (but are not limited to):
Surpassing treatment of individual diseases to healthspan and lifespan extension
Veering the focus of managing isolated diseases to preventing multiple diseases
Ageing is the primary driver of chronic diseases in older and elderly individuals. Poor ageing is characterized by reduced or impaired function of multiple organ systems, including the cardiorespiratory, metabolic, immune and musculoskeletal systems.
The current model of clinical medicine is reactive and disease-centric, focusing on secondary and tertiary treatment of age-related diseases. With the burgeoning ageing populations across the world, including Singapore, this prevailing approach may not be the most efficient method of alleviating the current health care burden. Healthcare cost is a ticking time bomb for ageing! This virtual series will bring together highly-esteemed and prominent speakers from a wide range of fields associated with ageing, spanning from large and small biotech industries to academic institutions. You will hear revolutionary insights from experts on the growing and evolving science of ageing. As well, be informed of the prospects of combatting and preventing the debilitating ageing process through multi-disciplinary and integrated approaches aimed at extending both healthspan and lifespan.
Please join us on the first three Thursdays of the month, 7pm SGT.
