[ Biography ]

 

The completion of “Human Genome Project” in 2001 marked the beginning of a new era in the paradigm of medicine and healthcare. In 2015, President Obama launched the “Precision Medicine Initiative” in the USA, while the Chinese government also announced the investment of RMB60 billions into the “National Precision Medicine Strategy”. What is “Precision Medicine” and how will its development affect human health and the medical and healthcare industry? In this seminar, Prof. Yang, with his 25 years of experience in the development and commercialization of biomedical research, will review the four waves in biotechnology and how they revolutionized medicine over the past half century, and discuss the disruptive innovations and investment opportunities in the healthcare industry being introduced by the development of precision medicine.

耗資30億美元的“人類基因組計劃”於2001年完成,標誌著醫學概念與診療模式進入嶄新階段。 2015年,美國聯邦政府宣布啟動 “精準醫療計劃”,中國政府同時宣布投入600億元建立“國家精準醫療戰略”。什麼是精準醫療?精準醫療的發展將會如何影響人類健康與醫療行業?楊教授將在報告中結合其25年來在生物醫學研究與產業化的經歷,回顧生物科技領域在過去半個世紀的四次浪潮及其對醫藥行業的革新,並介紹精準醫學對現有醫療模式帶來的顛覆性創新和醫藥健康產業的發展前景與投資機會。
