2ND TOW TIANG SENG DISTINGUISHED LECTURE SERIES: THE ECOLOGY OF LONGEVITY, COMBINING TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE AND BIOMEDICAL PERSPECTIVES
Modern biomedical science is re-discovering natural methods of achieving health and longevity that resonate with ancient wisdom in Chinese medical texts. In line with MSC’s focus on a preventive, non-drug approach to improving the quality of life in mental and physical aspects, this talk presents the common ground shared by modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and suggests how it may be possible to combine them for better longevity outcomes.
Keynote speaker Professor Hong Hai is the former chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee on Health, and Dean of the business school at Nanyang Technological University, where he is now Adjunct Professor. In midlife he started studying and researching Chinese medicine and the philosophy of science, completing an MD (Beijing University of Chinese Medicine), and a PhD in philosophy (London). He practices TCM part time and is the author/editor of five books on Chinese medicine.
