澳大舉辦首屆中醫藥與天然藥物國際研討會
澳門大學中華醫藥研究院和中藥質量研究國家重點實驗室於10月26至28日舉辦“第一屆澳門中醫藥與天然藥物國際研討會暨第一屆澳門藥學國際研討會”，匯聚300多名澳大利亞、韓國、新加坡、內地、澳門和香港的專家、科研人員及學生參與。
研討會設31場系列演講，探討中醫藥、天然產物和藥物科學的前沿研究和創新技術。澳大副校長葛偉表示，澳大歷來高度重視中醫藥的研究與發展，培養了大批中醫藥人才，開展了系列原創性研究，並在中醫藥的產業化方面取得喜人進展；澳大將繼續支持中藥質量研究國家重點實驗室的發展，進一步推動中華醫藥的國際交流合作。
澳大中華醫藥研究院院長、中藥質量研究國家重點實驗室代主任陳新表示，是次研討會旨在匯聚全球知名科學家和研究人員，為中醫藥、天然產物、藥物科學等領域的前沿研究提供分享平台，期待通過是次研討會推動中醫藥與天然藥物研究的國際合作交流。
研討會涵蓋多個主題，包括中藥質量保障新技術、免疫治療分子靶標、中醫藥臨床研究與監管、藥物發現前沿技術、創新藥物遞送技術、傑出出版論壇等。中國科學院院士邵峰以細胞焦亡為主題，系統回顧了他和團隊近年的研究歷程，從病原菌與宿主相互作用的天然免疫反應入手，闡釋了炎症性細胞焦亡的概念。邵峰新近的研究揭示了細胞發生焦亡的新機制，這一系列研究成果不僅為控制化療副作用提供了新靶點，更為糖尿病、慢性腎病等慢性炎症性疾病的藥物研發提供了全新思路。此外，參與研討會的十位在讀研究生更榮獲由國際白細胞生物學會資助頒發的優秀研究獎。
出席研討會開幕式的嘉賓還有澳門特別行政區政府衛生局局長羅奕龍、科學技術發展基金行政委員會委員鄭冠偉、藥物監督管理局代副局長李志洋等。

UM holds 1st International Symposium on Chinese Medicine and Natural Products
The Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences and the State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine of the University of Macau (UM) jointly held the 1st International Symposium on Chinese Medicine and Natural Products and the 1st International Symposium on Pharmaceutical Sciences from 26 October to 28 October. More than 300 experts, researchers, and students from Australia, South Korea, Singapore, mainland China, Macao, and Hong Kong attended the symposium. Speaking at the event, Ge Wei, vice rector of UM, said that UM has attached great importance to the research and development of Chinese medicine and has made good progress in the industrialisation of Chinese medicine, adding that the university will continue to promote international cooperation in the field. The symposium featured a series of 31 talks on cutting-edge research and innovative technologies in Chinese medicine, natural products, and pharmaceutical sciences, covering topics such as novel technologies for ensuring the quality of traditional Chinese medicine, molecular targets for immunotherapy, progress in clinical research and drug regulation, frontiers in drug discovery, innovations in pharmaceutical products and drug delivery, and the Outstanding Scientific Publication Forum. Shao Feng, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was the keynote speaker of the symposium and gave a talk on his research on pyroptosis over the years. In addition, 10 postgraduate students who participated in the symposium were awarded the SLB Trainee Outstanding Research Award sponsored by the Society for Leukocyte Biology.
