WELCOME ADDRESS
Distinguished guests, fellow scientists and engineersfrom home and abroad,
It is my great honor to extend a warm welcome to allthe participants who have joined the 2020 Asia-KoreaConference on Science and Technology (AKC2020).
This year's AKC is held in combination of online and inperson to maintain vigilance for the health and safetyof all participants involved. At the outset, recognitionand gratitude shall go to President Nam-Joon Cho andthe esteemed members of the Korean Scientists andEngineers Association in Singapore (KSEASG) forpulling off a successfully orchestrated event of thismagnitude amidst these challenging times.
As the world remains on high alert over a continuouswave of mass infection and transboundarytransmission of COVID-19, the pandemic has broughtunprecedented economic upheaval, upending everyaspect of our livelihoods including the shut-down ofnonessential businesses, an abrupt shift to workingfrom home in a bid to prevent further spread of nthdegree transmission, not to mention amplifying socialand economic turmoil. Notwithstanding these publichealth crisis, Korea and Singapore are widely praisedas setting best practice with their preventive responseto COVID-19, which bespeaks a renewed opportunityto cooperate in fast-tracking medical and non-contactindustries between two countries.
In hopes of bringing about the betterment of mankindthrough partnerships in science and technology, thetheme of AKC2020 is ‘Human Health and Longevity inthe Post COVID-19 Era’. Advances in science andtechnology are becoming prominent in combatingCOVID-19, notably in contact tracing, social distancing,telemedicine through digital innovation, and vaccinedevelopment. In the light of this, the role entrusted toKorean and Asian scientists and engineers joiningtoday is more significant than ever in pooling their
wisdom to come up with workable measures toexplore scientific collaboration built on the well-beingof humankind.
Since its inception in 2013, KSEASG has gainedsignificant momentum by making great strides in jointinternational research among such Asian countries asKorea, Singapore, Japan and China, and become awell-established platform conducive to science andindustrial development in the region. I trust that thisplatform will continue to be at the heart of globalendeavors for innovations in science and technologythat will shape our future and lift cross-borderbarriers.
In closing, I am confident that your passion dedicatedto research and development will serve as a drivingforce behind ‘scientific and technological advancementfor the good and betterment of all mankind’. Please beassured that KOFST will always remain committed toyour noble work and pledge its unwavering support forAKC-2020 to give renewed impetus to mutuallybeneficial scientific and technological exchangesamong Korea and Asian countries down the road. Iwish you all the best in your future endeavors. Thankyou.

It is my great pleasure to congratulate the KoreanScientists and Engineers Association in Singapore(KSEASG) on hosting the 8th Asia-Korea Conferenceon Science and Technology 2020 in Singapore.
In the context of rapid transformation in multipleareas of science technology, KSEASG has played apivotal role in promoting relevant exchanges betweenthe Republic of Korea and the Republic of Singapore.The Asia-Korea Conference on Science andTechnology has been a signature event of KSEASG, inthis regard. This year’s Conference bears specialmeaning as it is held at a time when the whole worldstruggles against the COVID-19 pandemic. The virushas awakened us to the true meaning of being able tophysically gather and relish personal interaction.
In the midst of the pandemic, the Korean governmentannounced a bold initiative – the Korean New Deal –to overcome the COVID-19 crisis and better preparefor the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This initiativeincludes investment plans in Data, Network, and AI, aswell as policy frameworks to facilitate innovation.
The Korean New Deal emphasizes bettercommunication and cooperation between private andpublic sectors and seeks to actively engage subjectmatter experts. On that note, the Asia-KoreaConference on Science and Technology provides amuch-valued engagement opportunity
I sincerely hope that scientists, engineers, and policy-makers will make the most out of this meaningfulconference, not least as we finally transition frommonths of online meetings to face-to-face gathering.
Thank you.

ABSTRACTLife science is critical to the Korean economy for the next decades since the COVID-19 pandemic. Our government declareda Heavy-Chemical Industry oriented society in 1973 even though we had no natural resources at all. However, this was anenabler of the last 50 years of the Korean economy. The highest occupation of Koran GDP was almost 50% in the late 1980sthrough the heavy and chemical economy. 10 years later, in 1983, we declared an Information and CommunicationTechnology (ICT) oriented economy and invested almost every effort in the ICT sector by government and private sectorsincluding Samsung and LG. Now, almost 90% of our trade surplus is initiated by the ICT industry in Korea, which is 8% of 4trillion dollars of the worldwide market. But eventually, China and some countries are challenging against the ICT marketand life science is rising dramatically on top of ICT infrastructures after the COVID-19. Recently, Korean private think-tanker, Yeosijae, has initiated a report on this matter to the government, which is to gear towards life science-orientedKorea. UN expects we are supposed to be ready for the 10 billion people with a 100-year longevity era by 2050, which coins1 Trillion Man Year (TMY). In this regard, this talk will cover some issues for life science-oriented new economy for thepreparation of after TMY era.

ABSTRACTChildren and youth are facing a strange new world in response to COVID-19, with schools closing, fewer servicesavailable, and a tremendous increase in unregulated screen time and online access. Children and youth were alreadysuffering from too little support, as evidenced by ~70% of 8- to 18-year-olds across 30 countries reporting at least onecyber-risk in the past year. The risks are varied, including cyber-bullying and victimization, risky meetings, gamingaddiction, privacy problems, and risky content, and false news. These risks can lead to serious outcomes, such aspoorer social adjustment, poor school performance, and poor health. With schools closing in response to COVID-19,the risks will increase and the opportunities to train and support children have decreased. There is an urgent need forglobal solutions and coordination to ensure child online protection and empowerment.
DQ Institute developed the world's first global standard framework for digital literacy and digital skills (IEEE 3527.1-2020). Currently, there are several international- and national-level initiatives with similar visions of child onlineprotection and empowerment in the digital age. In this talk I will discuss how to create faster, more efficient,coordinated, and comprehensive digital skills empowerment by connecting these ongoing initiatives and leveragingthe strengths of each effort using the DQ Global Standards. This will result in increased digital safety and security at aglobal level.

AbstractNow we live in an era of rapidly changing digital transformation. It is being detected everywhere in our lives andspaces, and it has an independent interface using personal devices or products in the background of hyper-connectedsociety. In addition, the recent worldwide fandom situation has led to calls for an untact interface. In this situation,then, should people continue to use only personal devices or interfaces in small screens of products without otheroptions? Will all the space in our lives disappear? I came up with the idea of a new way of space communication. Iwould like to talk about the data provided in the contact interface, offline services that can be enjoyed, and how datacan be communicated using our living space and environment.

ABSTRACTCharismatic marine fauna such as endangered sea turtles, dugongs sharks and rays have the potential to catalyzemarine conservation initiatives in a way habitats and other species fail to do. Public appeal and the perception ofimminent species loss has led, in many cases, to great investments in conservation resources. It is hard for the generalpublic to get excited about sea grass, while it is easy for the same public to get excited over endearing baby turtlesscurrying en masse down a beach. This charismatic power enables the conservation and management of other co-existing species and habitats, and this multiplier effect is a key element in holistic marine conservation.
However, many challenges remain for the recovery and conservation of these large, charismatic species in thedeveloping world, linked primarily to lack of information, lack of resources, inadequate participation of local fishingcommunities, and because this agenda item is never a development priority. In the developed world, where disposableincome exists, people have the power to choose. In the developing world, this is rarely the case.
In this talk I will describe several projects conducted by the Marine Research Foundation and demonstrate how highquality science can enable conservation when adequately translated into a form accessible by local governments, andhow collaboration with local communities (such as fishermen) is an integral component of marine conservation. I willalso address emerging challenges such as climate change, waste management, and micro-plastics in the marineenvironment.

projects in Malaysia and across the Indo-Pacific region, focusing his energies on saving endangered sea turtles,
dugongs, sharks and rays and other marine species. Nick also works extensively with major industries to design and
deliver solutions to environmental challenges they face. One of the flagship projects of the Marine Research
Foundation is introducing Turtle Excluder Devices to Malaysian trawl fisheries to mitigate sea turtle bycatch. After a
long collaborative project with the government and local fishers these devices became a legal requirement in Malaysia
in 2017. In recent years he has also studied impacts of climate change on sea turtles in Iran, the UAE and Qatar,
satellite-tracked turtles across the Middle Eastern region and in Malaysia, and investigated turtle use and trade in
parts of Africa. Nick’s strengths lie in being able to work among local communities and at the same time with high-level
government officials to overcome the socio-economic challenges of marine conservation. He also works closely with
the oil & gas sector, shipping, ports and mining industries, to develop solutions to overlaps in conservation and
development. These have included developing turtle-friendly lighting and dredging regimes, sub-beach pipeline
deployment designs, and management and monitoring regimes to detect impacts to wildlife. Dr. Pilcher is a past
president of the International Sea Turtle Society, a past Co-Chair of the IUCN Marine Turtle Specialist Group, and

ABSTRACT
Chronic hepatitis B and C infections are prevalent in Taiwan, about 15% or 3% among adult population. CHB and CHB in total account for 90% of end-stage liver diseases (liver cirrhosis and failure, or HCC) and pose an important public and medical challenges. Prevention of HBV infection was launched since year 1984 and dramatically reduces the HBsAg carriers rate, from 15% pre-vaccination to 1% post-vaccination cohorts. It is also translated into a 70% reduction of hepatic failure and HCC among the vaccinated cohort. The efficacy of primary prevention is very successful.However, for those with CHB (2.2 millions) and CHC (0.6 million ) in Taiwan, antivirals remain the mainstream therapy to rescue them from end-stage liver diseases. Antiviral therapies were approved in Taiwan around year 2000, and were reimbursed since year 2003 by National Health Insurance. Afterwards, a large-scale antiviral therapy was implemented. Ten years later, we found a significant declining trend for end-stage liver diseases in Taiwan. At first, the incidence for CHB or CHC related-liver cirrhosis drops about 25%. The death toll of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis (excluding HCC) also declined. The ranking of chronic liver diseases/cirrhosis among the 10 leading causes of death was 6th in year 2000, but now receded to 9th. Finally, the incidence of HCC started to slope downward. Year 2012 documented a 7% reduction of HCC incidence, as compared with that of 10 years ago. Despite these achievements, we face new challenges. Future technology to deliver more effective and friendlier vaccines and antiviral regimens is in need. In the next decade, we expect more CHB and CHC patients to be treated and thus prevent more patients from end-stage liver diseases.

ABSTRACT
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria has become a serious threat to public health and COVID-19 pandemic justmakes it even worse. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new classes of antimicrobial agents.Nowadays, natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and their synthetic derivatives are considered aspromising alternatives to traditional antibiotics. The broad molecular diversity of AMPs, in terms ofsequences and structures, suggests that their activity does not depend on specific features of amino acidsequence or peptide conformation. We therefore selected two common properties of AMPs, (highpercentage of hydrophobic and cationic amino acids), to develop a novel approach to synthesize randomantimicrobial peptide mixtures (RPMs). We have discovered that RPMs of hydrophobic and cationic α-aminoacids, such as phenylalanine and lysine, display strong and broad antimicrobial activity towards Gram-negative, Gram-positive, clinically isolated antibiotic resistant “superbugs”, and several plant pathogenicbacteria. In my talk I will share with you our efforts to explore the mode of action of RPMs and theirpotential as bioactive agents for multiple applications. All our findings illustrate the effectiveness of RPMsand their great potential as novel antimicrobial agents.
BIOGRAPHYDr. Zvi Hayouka was born in Jerusalem, Israel in 1979. He performed all his studies at The Hebrew University ofJerusalem, Israel. Zvi obtained his PhD in Chemistry in 2011 (Summa cum laude). In 2012 as a Fulbright scholar, hemoved to the chemistry department at the University of Wisconsin-Madiosn to Prof. Samuel Gellman’s lab, where hedesigned and characterized novel antimicrobial copolymers and peptides. In 2014 he joined the Institute ofBiochemistry Food science and Nutrition at the Hebrew University as a faculty member and established his ownresearch lab that focuses on the development of novel antimicrobial agents to tackle pathogenic bacteria(https://biochem-food-nutrition.agri.huji.ac.il/zvihayouka).His research group combines the fields of organic chemistry, peptide chemistry, food microbiology and biochemistry todesign and evaluate novel peptide-based antimicrobial agents for food and clinical applications. Pathogenic infectionsare an ongoing threat to human health. Furthermore, anti-infective therapeutics are becoming less effective due tothe emergence of antimicrobial resistance, which has been caused by the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture and theclinic. One of my major research goals is to develop peptide-based, antimicrobial agents to tackle pathogenic bacteria.His laboratory is currently investigating three unique classes of compounds: antimicrobial random peptide mixtures,bacterial toxin-antitoxin protein-protein interaction inhibitors and quorum-sensing quenchers (to disrupt bacterial cell-to-cell communication). These anti-infective strategies have immense potential as treatments to combat pathogenicbacteria, which will improve human health and food safety. Zvi is a member of several scientific committees and wasawarded several prestigious prizes as Levine-Jortner Award from the Israel Chemical Society for excellent PhD students(2008), Dimitris Chorafas Prize for excellent PhD students (2009), The Schlomiuk prize for outstanding PhD thesis, TheHebrew University of Jerusalem (2011), Fulbright Post-doctoral Fellowship (2012).

ABSTRACTMedium-chain fatty acids and monoglycerides are a promising class of membrane-active biomolecules that inhibitmedically and agriculturally important viruses and bacteria. While the biological properties of these compounds havebeen widely studied, there is an outstanding need to better understand the physiochemical mechanisms by which theydestabilize phospholipid bilayer membranes, which are an important structural component of many viral and bacterialpathogens. Using quartz crystal microbalance-dissipation and time-lapse fluorescence microscopy, we havedemonstrated that adding mixtures of lauric acid (LA) and glycerol monolaurate (GML) – two of the most biologicallyactive antimicrobial fatty acids and monoglycerides – to a supported lipid bilayer platform triggers concurrent tubuleand bud formation, which unexpectedly results in synergistic phospholipid membrane remodeling that far exceeds theeffects of GML or LA alone. Together, GML and LA drive pearling instability, dynamic transformation of buds intotubules and vice versa, and extensive membrane lysis. The most pronounced effects occurred with equimolarconcentrations of GML and LA, highlighting that synergistic membrane disruption arises from competition for the lipidsupply to buds and tubules and an inability to relieve membrane strains. These findings offer a conceptually newmodel to explain how fatty acid and monoglyceride interactions can trigger phospholipid membrane remodelingevents relevant to various biophysical and biological systems.

ABSTRACTDespite recent advances in cancer research, the current treatments ultimately fail, owing to metastasis and relapse.
The subpopulations of cancer cells with high tumorigenic potential, therefore often termed tumor-initiating cells (TICs)responsible for cancers' aggressiveness, have been suggested as realistic targets for effective cancer treatment. Thus,efforts toward developing the TIC-selective probe have been continuing as it would be a valuable tool for detectingand targeting TICs in cancers. Although various TIC marker-specific fluorescent probes have been conventionallydeveloped, such as antibodies, the antibody-based probe is inappropriate for intracellular targets in vivo. In this study,we demonstrated TIC-selective probes developed through the screening of small molecule fluorescent compoundlibraries. These probes can detect and isolate TICs from lung cancer patient-derived xenograft tumors. Furthermore,probes showed anti-TIC activity at high concentrations with low toxicity to non-TICs and normal tissue cells. As asuccessful study for TIC probe development, results will enlighten the design of novel tools for cancer diagnosis andtherapeutics that could counteract relapse and metastasis.
BIOGRAPHYLee Yong-An obtained his Ph.D. in Animal Biotechnology Lab, working on the Spermatogonial stem cells at Chung-AngUniversity (Korea). He then started postdoctoral research in the Singapore Bioimaging Consortium (SBIC) to studystemness in somatic stem cells and cancer by fluorescent bio-imaging probe development through high throughputscreening of fluorescent small-molecule libraries. Currently, he is engaged in the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS)to focus on liver disease studies by applying his expertise in high throughput screening. He is developing therapeuticsfor the fatty liver disease through bio-imaging probe development for hepatic stem cells and in vivo RNAi screening inthe liver disease model, which is supported by awarded funding from the NMRC of Singapore and EMULSION program,respectively.

ABSTRACTDue to globalization and greater demand for frontier research and innovation, talent mobility plays an important rolein knowledge accumulation and technology creation and diffusion, and it can be used to address key challenges ofscience and technology innovation development in Asia. Challenges include a lack of R&D personnel and weak ties inR&D collaboration among Asian countries. CAMPUS Asia, ERASMUS and EURAXESS are existing successful globalmodels for fostering young researchers and students in the platform of sharing information. The CAMPUS Asia(Collective Action for Mobility Program of University Students in Asia) is a cross-border student mobility programamong Korea, Japan, and China, initiated by the agreement of the Summit Meeting of Korea, Japan and China in 2010.The program aims to strengthen networks among academic institutions of higher education in Asia and promotesstudent exchanges through joint and double degree programs and exchange programs. Global networking is needed tobuild partnerships for problem-solving in Asian countries and this can be promoted through R&D partnership andhuman exchange. Sharing benefits for both R&D programs and human resource development is important becausethey will enable advancement. Asian Research Network (ARN) is a program of research & human networking in scienceand engineering initiated by RIKEN in Japan and Hanyang University in Korea since 2007. ARN is an Asian platform forcollaboration with participating global institutions and the missions of ARN are promotion & conducting researchprograms, fostering & securing talented researchers, and promotion of global leadership programs. ARN Koreafounded in August 2012 is a non-profit, nongovernment organization under the framework of ARN affiliated with theMinistry of Science and ICT of Korean Government.
