The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine is hosting the 5th edition of the James Best Distinguished Lecture with Professor Michael Snyder on 25 March 2025. He will be delivering a lecture on the topic of "Personalised Medicine in Future Healthcare."
As a pioneer of Precision Medicine, Professor Michael Snyder has invented many technologies enabling the 21st century of healthcare including systems biology, RNA sequencing, and protein chips. He has initiated the Big Data approach to healthcare through his work using omics to detect early stage disease, including wearables to detect infectious diseases like COVID-19, and at-home microsampling to measure thousands of molecules from a single drop of blood. Professor Snyder is the first researcher to gather petabytes of data on individuals, which is 1 million - 1 trillion times more data than the average clinician collects. He has published over 900 papers and is one of the most cited scientists. In terms of commercial success, Professor Snyder has co-founded 17 companies (including 2 unicorns) with combined enterprise value of over $6 billion.
This event brings together thought leaders and industry experts to address thought-provoking issues in medicine, and foster dialogue in the transformation of medical research and health. Come join us at the 5th edition of the James Best Distinguished Lecture Series. This lecture series is supported by the LKCMedicine 10th Anniversary (2020) Distinguished Visitor programme.
