The University of Macau (UM) held the 32nd UM Scholar Research Forum today (24 March), where Lin Ligen, professor in the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences and the State Key Laboratory of Mechanism and Quality of Chinese Medicine and associate head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in the Faculty of Health Sciences at UM, delivered a talk titled ‘Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Chemical Biology: A New Developing Model for TCM Innovation’. The talk was well attended by students, faculty, and members of the public.
During the talk, Prof Lin discussed the role of traditional Chinese medicine chemical biology in driving the modernisation, innovation, and research and development of TCM. He explained that this interdisciplinary field integrates methodologies from Chinese medicine chemistry, molecular biology, systems biology, and other areas, and aims to elucidate the mechanisms of TCM action by examining the interaction between chemical components and biological systems. Prof Lin also presented his research team’s findings on Chinese bayberry and wild chrysanthemum, and showcased the practical application of traditional Chinese medicine chemical biology in TCM development.
