Neuroscience is a fast-evolving discipline that closely intersects with other fields – including immunology, metabolism, cancer, and more recently, artificial intelligence (AI) – driving new discoveries and innovations. These intersections reflect the importance of global collaboration in neuroscience, as researchers integrate emerging technologies like AI and computational models into their research.
Amidst this backdrop, the Chen Institute was happy to support the inaugural NeuroFrontiers Symposium, held January 21-22 at the NUS University Cultural Centre in Singapore, brought together top neuroscience researchers, stakeholders, and students from the USA, China and Singapore, providing a dynamic platform for advancing global collaboration in brain research, particularly through the adoption of cutting-edge technologies.
The inaugural symposium was organized by the NUS Life Sciences Institute’s Neurobiology Research Program in collaboration with IDG Capital, the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the McGovern Institute in Beijing Normal University, Peking University and Tsinghua University. It was sponsored by The Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute, IDG Capital (Singapore), and McGovern Institute.
