09:30-10:05 ChineseWhy anthropology needs knowledge of neuroscience? A call for collaborationsShuenn-Der YuResearch Fellow, Institute of EthnologyAnthropologists’ constructions of culture often relate to human brain but in their days scholars seldom referred to brain science. By reviewing perspectives of social neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, embodiment, and neuroanthropology, this paper proposes how anthropologists may like to reconsider their concepts of culture and construct theories more compatible with contemporary knowledge. -
10:05-10:40 ChineseProtein misfolding in neurodegenerative diseases: the cause and therapeutic potentialYun-Ru ChenResearch Fellow/Deputy Director, Genomics Research CenterNeurodegenerative diseases, often linked to aging, are driven largely by protein misfolding. This talk explores the origins and therapeutic potential of targeting misfolded proteins, using Alzheimer's and ALS as examples, and highlights pathological mechanisms uncovered in our research along with related drug development strategies. - Coffee break 10:40 - 11:00

11:00-11:35 ChineseNature as a great sculptor — a lesson from ferroptotic trigger wavesSheng-Hong ChenAssociate Research Fellow, Institute of Molecular BiologyLarge-scale cell death is commonly observed in embryonic development and human aging diseases, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our research shows that ferroptotic trigger waves are the key mechanism underlying large-scale cell death, providing a new paradigm for studying cell death events during embryonic development and human aging diseases. -
11:35-12:10 ChineseExploring the hepatitis trilogy: from the perspective of causalityYen-Tsung HuangResearch Fellow, Institute of Statistical ScienceThis study developed a causal mediation model to analyze the natural history of disease, focusing on how temporally ordered events mediate the mortality risk among patients with hepatitis B or C (hepatitis → cirrhosis → liver cancer → death). The results reveal distinct mechanisms of disease progression for hepatitis B and C. - Lunch Break (self-arranged) 12:10-13:30

The next frontier of cancer medicine
Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Biomedical Translation Research Center
Cancer is the leading cause of death with approximately one in four individuals succumbing to the disease in Taiwan. The mainstream cancer therapy today focuses on reactivating and enhancing the human immune system to eliminate tumor cells. This conference will showcase next-generation innovations in translational immune cell therapy, therapeutic antibodies, precision treatments, and RNA vaccine development, all aimed at optimizing the effectiveness of cancer treatment.
