牛津教授於澳大談基因組學在現代醫療的應用
澳門大學今（3）日舉辦“大學講壇”，由牛津大學納菲爾德醫學院基因組醫學教授Anneke Lucassen以“個體化精準醫療：基因組學如何走進我們的日常生活”為題發表演講，透過臨床實踐案例，深入探討了如何在醫療系統中應用基因組學技術，同時建立對基因科學能力的理性認知。
澳大副校長葛偉致辭時表示，Anneke Lucassen是國際知名的遺傳醫學與個人化醫療權威，現任牛津大學個人化醫學中心主任、醫院臨床遺傳學榮譽顧問。她致力推動遺傳疾病的研究，同時探討基因組技術所涉及的倫理議題，其研究整合臨床醫學、分子生物學、倫理法律等專業領域，以跨學科研究促進基因組學於實際層面的應用。Anneke Lucassen目前領導牛津大學臨床倫理法律與社會研究團隊，並擔任多項要職，包括英國生物樣本庫（UK Biobank）倫理諮詢委員會主席、英國基因組醫學聯合委員會主席、英國國家篩查委員會成員等職務，持續推動基因醫學的臨床實踐。
講座上，Anneke Lucassen提到將基因組醫學整合至臨床實踐，實為現代醫療保健體系中最具革命性之變革之一。然而，從實驗室研究成果到實際應用的轉化過程，仍存在諸多複雜且細微的挑戰與考量。她的研究團隊專注於探討科學突破如何有效轉化至實際應用，從如何確保基因資訊能妥善傳遞予家族成員，到探討個人化醫療的環保實踐方案等，務求使社會大眾得以充分受益於其團隊的科研發現。Anneke Lucassen分享了其在醫院和個人化醫學中心的經驗，探討如何以負責任的態度將基因組學整合至醫療保健體系，同時對基因科學所能達成與未能達成的目標保持務實預期，為在場人士帶來啟發。
問答及交流環節由澳大健康科學學院院長鄧初夏主持。Anneke Lucassen與參與者交流互動，討論氣氛熱烈。

Oxford professor gives talk on application of genomics in modern medicine at UM
The University of Macau (UM) held a talk titled ‘Personalised Medicine: Embedding Genomics in the Real World’ today (3 July) as part of its University Lecture Series. Anneke Lucassen, professor of genomic medicine in the Nuffield Department of Medicine at the University of Oxford, was the speaker. During the talk, Prof Lucassen presented examples of clinical practices and discussed how genomic technology can be applied within the healthcare system while fostering a rational understanding of genetics.
In his speech, UM Vice Rector Ge Wei highlighted Prof Lucassen’s international reputation as an authority in the fields of medical genetics and personalised medicine. Prof Lucassen is committed to advancing hereditary disease research and addressing the ethical debates surrounding genomic technologies. Her interdisciplinary research, which spans clinical medicine, molecular biology, and bioethics, has advanced the application of genomics. Prof Lucassen also holds key positions at several institutions in the UK, driving the clinical applications of genomic medicine.
During the talk, Prof Lucassen said that integrating genomic medicine into clinical practice is one of the most transformative developments in modern medicine. She mentioned that her research team focuses on translating scientific breakthroughs in the field into real-world applications that benefit the community. She also shared her experiences of working in hospitals and the Centre for Personalised Medicine, and discussed how genomics can be responsibly integrated into the healthcare system. In addition, Prof Lucassen engaged with the audience during the Q&A and discussion session, which was moderated by Chuxia Deng, dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at UM.
