The 6th NUS-CMU Joint Symposium

Since establishing collaboration in 2016, CMU and NUS have continued to carry out frequent academic exchanges. Professors from the both universities make research cooperation, implement joint research projects, co-supervise PhD students and participate in joint symposiums.

The National University of Singapore hosted the 6th NUS-CMU Joint Symposium on November 26-27, 2024. In the symposium, 7 scholars from CMU and 12 scholars from NUS gave special lectures, focusing on the topics including tumor immunity, cancer epigenetics, traditional Chinese medicine for cancer treatment, and the protective mechanism of electroacupuncture on the nervous system. Academician Mien-Chie Hung, the President of CMU, served as the keynote speaker and delivered a speech titled “Marker-Guided Effective Therapy (MGET).” He shared the latest research results of cancer marker-guided therapy, emphasized personalized treatment strategies based on marker guidance, and demonstrated the application of a new generation of intracellular messaging imaging technology.

During the two-day meeting, scholars from both universities had lively discussions and proposed more than 10 potential collaborative projects, covering the topics of tumor microenvironment regulation, innovative drug delivery technology, and clinical application and new mechanism research of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture therapy. With the fruitful discussion results, the research teams of CMU and NUS hope to apply for the seed funding, and furthermore apply for the international collaboration project of Taiwan and Singapore. In the future, we can expect that CMU and NUS will continue to perform highly influential cutting-edge research to benefit more public.
