The Biomedical Research Revolution and Its Positive Disruption on Existing Practices

The Future of Healthcare: The Biomedical Research Revolution and Its Positive Disruption on Existing Practices

Biomedicine is a major engine for both medical progress and economic growth as well as an integral part of how health, illness, and individual identity are understood. However, the foundations of biomedicine are in the midst of a great transformation, a transformation with profound implications for medicine, research, commerce, and public policy.

This session will address real-world challenges in healthcare: 

  • How AI can help
  • Empowering patients: telemedicine/mHealth
  • Precision medicine and new therapeutics

It is an honored to have Peter Gruss, the President/CEO of OIST and one of the leading global experts in biomedicine research and practice, present his thoughts and engage with participants on a topic that clearly has far-reaching implications for both our personal lives as well as public policy. 

Asia Society Japan Center and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) will be co-hosting this program.

 


This event will be conducted in-person and online.
In-person participation is for members and guests only. Online participation is open to the public. Registration is required.
