Science Educators Gather at CPR for a Learning Journey
In our ongoing efforts to promote science education, we welcomed a group of Science Master Teachers from the Academy of Singapore Teachers for a learning journey on 9 September 2024.
Participants included science teachers from primary schools, secondary schools and junior colleges in Singapore who teach a range of science subjects including Primary Science, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Design & Technology, and Nutrition and Food Science.
The programme was designed to demonstrate how we leverage science and technology to develop innovative drugs for patient-centric healthcare.
The day began with a welcome address and introduction to CPR by our CEO Mr Hideaki Shimada. Next, our Research Manager presented an overview of the drug development process in CPR, detailing each stage from target identification to lead discovery and lead optimization.
The teachers were then taken on a lab tour, where they witnessed our researchers in action, gaining insights on how we utilize technology to develop new drugs. This was followed by an interactive Q&A session and tea reception, creating a relaxed setting for further conversation and idea-sharing.
Through this visit, we aimed to demonstrate just how relevant science education is to the real world and inspire teachers to lead discussions on how to bring science to life in their classrooms.
By connecting with educators, we hope to make science relatable and empower teachers to nurture a new generation of curious and innovative learners. Events like these highlight our commitment to outreach and our contribution to the science community.
