Hello all. Last week I met up with Aim, an alum from the Fulbright family, and it was so interesting that I wish to share with you ka!
Aim is a scientist and management professional. Currently she serves as Program Manager at the NUS Academy for Healthy Longevity. Her work not only is relevant to my aging self but also is what I feel so excited about ka.
From talking with her and checking the website, her organization is under the School of Medicine and committed to offering top-quality education in the field of health and longevity. Through courses and programs, participants will be a part of and lead the GeroScience and Healthy Longevity Medicine field to enable healthy and fulfilling lives.
What I’m excited about is the courses the Academy offers. One we talked about is held annually and it runs for only two and a half days for startups, C-suite, and entrepreneurs. It provides recent trends and the latest developments in the field of healthy longevity and the changing perspectives of medicine. Visits are also included for participants to see how this area can be grown into business and other related fields. A few Thais mainly from the private sector have signed up ka.
This Academy also stresses how its conference helps participants meet with ‘multiple world experts and build long-lasting friendship with great minds of various specializations and cultural backgrounds.’
They also have a longer duration of training for younger ones, entitled, ‘Healthy Longevity Talent Incubator’, which is a 10-day Summer School. I asked if it’s possible to be an observer. She said it isn’t allowed for the participants to fully focus on the activities.
I also learned about ‘repurposed drugs’. Research has been conducted to go into drugs being in use and add/drop some substances, which could potentially contribute to longevity while reducing experiment time.
This healthy aging area has so much potential. Again, I’m amazed with how advanced and fast Singapore has been, how it well-covers the ecosystem for the healthy aging area from experts to business and younger generations, and how the progress has been contributive to the delivery of education and research while reaching out to offer its expertise and experiences beyond the university and nation’s boundaries ka.
Thailand’s healthcare sector is very strong and I hope to see our visions stretch into this area prominently ka.
Any comments mai ka?
