PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Nuclear Medicine, in the era of precision medicine, is growing fast world-wide, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. This is partly because of its molecular nature and its theranostic capability.
In 2020, Nuclear Medicine Society (Singapore) (NMS(S)) just turned 10, at this milestone, I am humbled to be elected to lead this still young professional organization abounding in vigour and vitality.
The Nuclear Medicine community in Singapore is a relatively small one but we have been constantly growing. Singapore General Hospital Department of Nuclear Medicine was the founding father of World Association of Radiopharmaceutical and Molecular Therapy (WARMTH) and Asia School of Nuclear Medicine. NMS(S), since its birth, has been a loyal and active member of WFNMB as well as AOFNMB. In the past decade, we have been in close relationship and collaborations with other organizations such as IAEA, Malaysian Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging, American college of Nuclear Medicine, Chinese Society of Nuclear Medicine, to name a few. Our biennial conference 'Nuclear Medicine Update Singapore' has established its fame as a leading regional platform for professional exchange with international influence.
While Singapore is witnessing more expertise and new sites of nuclear medicine now and better radiochemistry labs and more preclinical imaging facilities, there is much more interest in molecular imaging and therapy among clinicians and researchers. Similarly, this trend is witnessed in the regional countries including the less developed Myanmar, Sri Lanka & etc.
Singapore, as a small country at the junction point of east and west, stands strong with tolerance and connectivity. NMS(S), a small but cosy forum for our experts to share their knowledge and for us to learn from others and to connect with one another. Our vision is to continue to work with regional and international agencies and industrial partners to develop the science and the clinical practice of Molecular Imaging & Therapy.
We are seeing far with high hope of becoming an even stronger society in the next decade.
We look forward to your support and participation.
Warmest regards,
Dr. Sean Xuexian Yan
President, NMS(S)
