Building the Asia-Pacific community to safeguard global health. Experts and leaders gathered at the 3rd Asia-Pacific Infectious Disease Shield (APIS) Forum hosted by Dr Choong-Min Ryu, Director of APIS / Infectious Diseases Research Centre - Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology (KRIBB) to discuss collective strategies for pandemic preparedness and response, with the emphasis on addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and vector-borne diseases. Speaking at the forum, A*STAR IDL ED, Prof Lisa F.P. Ng shared insights on the immunity of arboviral infections adding valuable depth to the topic. 🌍 In a future where climate change increasingly impacts health, strengthening collaborative efforts to address emerging public health challenges is essential. By leveraging advancements in AI, data-driven initiatives, and next-generation diagnostics, we can better anticipate and respond to these evolving threats. Looking forward to seeing how these discussions around infectious disease research and innovation will translate into impactful and sustainable action – especially through partnerships with key collaborators including KRIBB. #InfectiousDiseases #ClimateChange #ArtificialIntelligence #GlobalHealth #PandemicPreparedness #Sustainability #ASTAR
