The keynote address will be given by Dr. Barry Halliwell, a renowned biochemist known for his seminal work on the role of free radicals and antioxidants in biological systems. He will discuss how reactive oxygen species are fundamental to life but also involved in human disease and aging through a process known as oxidative damage. While early work helped elucidate how plants remove hydrogen peroxide, plant-rich diets lower disease risk by providing antioxidants. However, the reasons antioxidants often fail to decrease disease risk or severity in intervention studies will also be examined, including that antioxidants are frequently ineffective at decreasing human oxidative damage levels. 17 Program Overview Monday, August 17th 08:00-12

Overview
The Consortium for Globalization of Chinese Medicine (CGCM) was born in 2003 from a meeting attended
by sixteen leading institutions in traditional Chinese Medicine organized by the Faculty of Medicine at The
University of Hong Kong. It was during this meeting that a memorandum of understanding was signed by all
sixteen founding institutions to form the Consortium for Globalization of Chinese Medicine (CGCM). The
CGCM has since grown to 144 member institutes and 18 industrial affiliates.
The CGCM positions itself as a global, non-profit, non-discriminatory and non-political organization with a
mission to advance Chinese herbal medicine to benefit all of human kind through joint efforts of the
academic institutions, industries, and regulatory agencies around the world.
Mission
To advance the field of Chinese herbal medicine to benefit human kind through joint efforts of the academic
institutions, industries and regulatory agencies around the world.

Dr. Barry Halliwell
Senior Advisor to the President
Tan Chin Tuan Centennial Professor of Biochemistry
National University of Singapore
Professor Barry Halliwell is Tan Chin Tuan Centennial Professor at the National University of Singapore. An
internationally-acclaimed biochemist, Professor Halliwell is known for his seminal work on the role of free
radicals and antioxidants in biological systems. The Thomson Reuters lists Professor Halliwell as one of the
world's most highly-cited researchers in Neurobiology & Behaviour, Pharmacology & Toxicology, Biology
and Biochemistry. His Hirsch Index is 142. His book Free Radicals in Biology and Medicine is regarded as the
authoritative text in the field. The fifth edition will be published this year.
His research focuses on the role of free radicals and antioxidants in human disease, particularly Alzheimer
disease and other brain disorders, such as strokes, and in the ageing process. His interest in identifying
important antioxidants in the human diet and in developing novel antioxidants has critical bearing on treating
human diseases and understanding how diet might cause or prevent them.

Dr. Rogers Prize Keynote Address
The Keynote Address is brought to you by the generous support of the Dr. Rogers Prize - highlighting the important
contributions of Complementary and Alternative Medicine to healthcare. Learn more about the Dr. Rogers Prize at
www.drrogersprize.org. The lecture will be given by Dr. Barry Halliwell.
THE WANDERINGS OF A FREE RADICAL - ASSESSING ANTIOXIDANTS
AND THEIR IMPACT ON HEALTH AND DISEASE
Barry Halliwell, Centennial Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Yong Loo Lin School of
Medicine, National University of Singapore
Oxygen free radicals and related "reactive oxygen species" are fundamental to healthy life; they help drive evolution and
the damage that they can do ("oxidative damage") is involved in most, if not all, human diseases and in the ageing
process. The fact that reactive oxygen species cause such harm whilst playing important pathophysiological roles can be
explained by Darwinian Medicine. Early work by my group helped elucidate the pathway used by plants to remove
H2O2 (the ascorbate-glutathione cycle). Plants are key to human life; they supply us with oxygen, they provide a variety
of nutrients with antioxidant abilities, and diets rich in plants lower the risk of developing many diseases, including
dementias and strokes. The reasons for the lack of effectiveness of antioxidants in decreasing risk of disease or severity
of disease in some intervention studies will be discussed. One explanation is that antioxidants are often ineffective in
decreasing levels of oxidative damage in humans. Antioxidants work better in cell culture and in rodent models (which
questions the relevance of some mouse models of human disease). So how then can we minimize oxidative damage in
the human body? Strategies will be discussed. Studies on lifespan and healthspan using C.elegans as a model will also be
presented.
