About the event

Join us for an inspiring fireside evening with Prof Toh Han Chong, the Deputy CEO (Strategic Partnerships) of the National Cancer Centre Singapore and Professor at Duke-NUS. With an impressive background as a clinician-scientist and immunotherapy pioneer, he has been a key player in the global VANCE Phase III trial — the largest T-cell therapy trial in solid tumors — and co-founded NeoTILa Biosciences.

This unique opportunity allows you to hear candid insights from Prof Chong as he discusses:

  • Identifying Opportunities: How do you determine if an idea should become a company?
  • Exciting vs. Investable Science: What differentiates thrilling research from scalable ventures?
  • Building Ecosystems: How a small nation successfully created a leading biomedical landscape and the current opportunities available in Asia.
  • Essential Learning: What should today’s grad students focus on that traditional training often overlooks?

✨ This event is perfect for:

  • Students and postdocs balancing interests in both science and entrepreneurship.
  • Founders exploring Asian markets and making their innovations fundable.
  • Executives in pharma and biotech seeking insights into partnerships in Asia.
  • Researchers interested in collaboration opportunities in the region.
  • Investors exploring the growth of life-science companies.
