澳大健康科學學院講座提升高中生科學素養
為提升澳門中學生的科學素養，澳門大學健康科學學院舉辦了多場有關生物醫藥學的科學講座，由學院的教學人員向超過800位澳門中學生分享科學的奧秘與樂趣，從而啓發他們對生物醫藥學的興趣和新的想法。
多場講座內容豐富，形式多樣。其中澳大健康科學學院教授陳國凱為教業中學高一至高三學生主講“愛情荷爾蒙”。他以輕鬆幽默的風格，從科學的角度深入淺出地剖析了愛情背後的生物學機制，帶出多巴胺和催產素這兩個主宰愛情的荷爾蒙的作用，讓學生們在輕鬆愉快的氛圍中學習到科學知識。
郭珩輝教授為粵華中學高一學生演講“毒咬之藥：如何用大自然最致命的毒液來拯救人類生命？”，向學生詳細解說動物毒液的複雜組成和藥用潛力，並分享了自身的科研足跡，讓學生了解到毒液中的毒素也可以用作治療疾病，而且許多種含有毒液成份的藥物已廣泛地使用。
王鵬副教授為濠江中學高二學生講解“大數據時代的生物信息學”，期間與學生探討了精準醫療和生物信息學的發展現狀，以及大數據技術在醫療保健領域中的應用和未來發展趨勢，並分析了相關領域所蘊含的商業機遇。
潘全威副教授為濠江中學高二及粵華中學高一學生演講“精準醫療和大數據—醫療保健革命和商業機遇”，深入介紹了精準醫療的概念、大數據的重要性，以及人工智能在未來公共衛生體系中的廣泛應用。他也探討了人工智能應用於精準醫療的挑戰和商機，以及其在醫學和公共衛生領域的實際應用。
王麗高級講師則為濠江中學高二學生主講“日常生活中潛藏的生物醫學秘密，諾貝爾獎級的發現就在我們身邊”。她以生活化的例子，揭示了許多日常現象背後隱藏的生物醫學原理，以及這些原理怎樣促成了諾貝爾獎級的科學發現，讓學生了解這些造福人類的發明都是經過多年努力的研究，才能成就今天人類健康的發展。
講座既有專業知識的講解，也有生動有趣的案例分析，激發學生們對生物醫藥學的學習熱情。講者們更鼓勵學生勇敢築起科學夢，努力拓寬視野，以創新的思維及多元的思考模式做人做事、探索未來。
