Drawing on his internationally recog-nised work in molecular allergy, immunology and food safety, he will examine emerging patterns in food and environmental allergies, including the growing burden among adults and ageing populations. Integrating molecular, clinical, and population-level perspectives, the talk highlights how climate change, biodiversity shifts, and urban living intersect to influence immune respons-es and chronic inflammatory disease. This session underscores the urgency of advancing tropical health research to inform prevention, diagnosis, and policy in a changing global environment.Connect with James Cook University, Singapore: Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jcu.singapore.fanpage/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jcu_singapore Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jcusingapore Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jcusingapore And for more news and information, visit https://www.jcu.edu.sg/
