Abstract 45

Integrating Biochemistry for Economic Development

Chris Gwenin, Professor of Applied Health Sciences

In his Abstract 45 debut, Chris will delve into the dynamic interface of chemistry and biology, exploring its vast potential to fuel medical innovation and drive economic growth.

Beginning with a brief personal reflection, the discussion will transition to highlight key contributions of biochemistry to cutting-edge developments, including point-of-care diagnostic sensors and an advanced drug delivery system. Furthermore, the talk offers insight into the pivotal role academic research plays in these fields, while addressing the challenges universities face in translating scientific innovations into tangible, market-driven solutions.

By bridging the gap between research and real-world applications, this talk underscores the transformative power of biochemistry in advancing both healthcare and economic progress.
