KOTA KINABALU: Regenerative medicine represents one of the most exciting frontiers in modern science, with the potential not only to repair and restore damaged tissues and organs but also to transform how diseases are prevented, managed and ultimately cured, said Datuk Seri Christina Liew.
“This is not just about medical innovation, it is about giving people renewed hope and empowering communities to live longer, healthier and more meaningful lives,” said the former Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister who was the guest of honour at the Scientific Seminar on Regenerative Medicine with Exosomes organised by Biolive (M) Sdn Bhd at Sabah Hakka Hall here last night.
Welcomng doctors from Taiwan and academic researchers from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia who presented papers at the seminar, Liew described the seminar as a testament to the power of collaboration, noting that by bringing together leading scientists, researchers, healthcare professionals and entrepreneurs. The organisers were laying the groundwork for breakthroughs that could shape the future of medicine not only in Malaysia but globally.
“In this regard, let us be bold in our vision, steadfast in our commitment and united in our efforts. Together, we can ensure that regenerative medicine fulfils its promise to transform healthcare and improve countless lives,” she added.
Among the speakers were Prof Dr Su Yung-Tsun, Director of the Taiwan Anti-aging Medical Association and Director of the Asia-Pacific Tumour & Chronic Diseases Nutrition Society; Dr Yang You-Chia, an ophthalmologist from Taiwan Nobel Eye Clinic and board-certified specialist with the Taiwan Society of Aesthetic Medicine; Associate Professor Dr Daniel Law Jia Xian, Deputy Head of the Department of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre; and Associate Professor Dr Angela Ng, a senior lecturer from the same department.
