PMFG 2024 continued to deliver impactful discussions, uniting global experts to explore groundbreaking ideas in precision medicine and genomics. The summit featured dynamic sessions and a high-profile panel addressing the opportunities and challenges of building a robust biomedical innovation economy in Qatar. A highlight of day two was the panel powered by Doha Debates, which explored the theme ‘Shaping the Future: Exploring the Boundaries of Human Advancement’. Moderated by Al Jazeera’s Dareen Abu Ghaida, the discussion tackled the ethical and philosophical implications of advancing genomics and biotechnology. Panelists included Jamie Metzl (Entrepreneur and Sci-Fi Novelist), Dr Sarah Chan (The University of Edinburgh, UK), and Dr Arash Rafii (Weill Cornell Medical-Qatar). Dr Sarah Chan, Center for Biomedicine, Self and Society, Usher Institute, The University of Edinburgh, UK, said: “Genomic medicine offers unparalleled opportunities to revolutionize healthcare, but achieving genomic justice requires addressing inequalities embedded in our systems. By better understanding genome and its benefits for the long run, we can move toward personalized treatments tailored to individual needs, no matter how unique. This transformative shift must be supported by a fairer, more innovative approach to developing cures for the genomic era, ensuring that the benefits of these advancements are accessible to all.” The second panel session chaired by Dr Iyabo Tinubu-Karch, CEO of Sidra Medicine, which convened thought leaders from academia, healthcare, and policymaking, focused on positioning Qatar as a global biomedical hub. Panelists included Dr Francis Yeoh (National University of Singapore), Dr. Mohamed Adel Ghanem (Qatar Investment Authority), Dr. Slim Slama (World Innovation Summit for Health), Dr. Gordan Sanghera (Oxford Nanopore Technologies), and Dr. Peter Owotoki (Vitafluence.AI). Dr Francis Yeoh, Professorial Fellow and Chairman, Innovation & Entrepreneurship – National University of Singapore and Advisor to the Qatar Research, Development and Innovation Council, said: “To build a successful biomedical ecosystem, there are six key components: strong government policies supporting innovation and business, access to cutting-edge healthcare markets, a growing pool of skilled talent, available funding through venture capital and government grants, robust support services like legal aid, startups, and accelerators, and a culture that embraces innovation. Qatar has all of these essential elements in place – positioning it to become a leading biomedical hub.” Dr Mohamed Adel Ghanem, Head of Healthcare at Qatar Investment Authority, said: “This event highlights Qatar’s progress and its ambition to lead in biomedical innovation. With advanced facilities like those at Sidra Medicine and access to comprehensive patient datasets, Qatar is well positioned to attract global partners and accelerate impactful solutions. Focusing on local health needs and creating a supportive regulatory environment gives the country a competitive edge to address global healthcare challenges.” Dr Slim Slama, CEO at the World Innovation Summit for Health, said: “Qatar is a small yet remarkably agile nation with a clear vision for public health, technology, and investment. In a short time, it has made significant contributions to global health dialogue and innovation. It’s essential to ensure these discussions are inclusive and address the unique needs of regions like ours, where challenges range from infectious diseases to chronic conditions.” The final day of PMFG 2024 (Thursday) promises sessions on custom-made therapies, innovative clinical trials, and dialogue in gene therapy. Keynote speakers include Dr. Hakon Hakonarson (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia), Dr. Chantal Mathieu (European Association for the Study of Diabetes), and Dr James Wilson (Gemma Biotherapeutics), who will explore actionable insights in genomics and rare disease treatments. PMFG 2024 is held under the patronage of the Human Genome Organization (HUGO) and the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health, with Qatar Precision Health Institute as a strategic partner, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as a knowledge partner, Qatar National Bank as the Official Diamond Patronage and Sponsor, and Msheireb Museums as a community partner.

Chiang Mai set to showcase local talentHere’s some good news for those who haven’t pulled the trigger on Sony’s latest VR headset. The PlayStation VR2 is on sale for $350 as part of a Black Friday deal, and it’s a bundle that includes the critically-acclaimed spin-off Horizon Call of the Mountain . This is a record low price for the headset, and that’s without a game that normally costs $60. In other words, this is one heck of a great deal. Sony PlayStation VR2 Call of the Mountain Bundle $350 $550 Save $200 This is a record low price for the headset and comes with a game. $350 at Amazon We enjoyed this headset and gave it high marks in our official review . The OLED displays are excellent, so the graphics are on point. The headset’s fit is comfortable and it includes built-in haptics for increased immersion. Haptics for your head? That’s a pretty novel concept. The headset also includes eye tracking technology and ships with two dedicated controllers, one for each hand. The company’s Sense controllers are eerily similar to Meta Quest controllers, with a large tracking ring, analog sticks, face buttons, triggers and grip buttons. As for Horizon Call of the Mountain , it’s a new entry in the beloved Horizon franchise, only in VR. There’s a whole lot of climbing, as indicated by the title, but also a refined bow and arrow mechanic that feels just right in virtual space. We hesitated to recommend this headset to everyone at its original price of $550, but it’s a no-brainer at $350. This deal is also available through Sony , if Amazon isn’t your bag. So what’s the catch? There’s only one. This isn’t a standalone headset. It requires a PS5 to work, though Sony did recently release an adapter that lets it connect to a PC .

It’s a photo of Vernon’s Jeff Hurmuces in his home on Christmas Eve, 1952. Look at the fantastic black-and-white photo courtesy of the Museum and Archives of Vernon. Look closely. Photos of family framed, hanging on the wall, some level, some askew. The Christmas tree in the corner, clearly a live tree with a star on top, minimal lights and the always-present tinsel at the time. Christmas cards were regularly hung from string going wall to wall, and you can see Mr. Hurmuces received at least 19 cards that year. And the food. My word, the food. The drink. Something for every palate in this pic. Hurmuces was the co-owner of the highly successful National Cafe, in the old National Hotel, according to his niece, Gayle, who lives on Vancouver Island and who pays tribute to her uncle on her website, Eatinscanada.com. Hurmuces owned the cafe with another Vernon legend, Nick Alexis, as well as Tom (Curly) Pulos and Gus Haros from 1935-1963. Curly’s daughter Evinia (Pulos) Bruce wrote a letter to The Morning Star in 2004 explaining how the National Cafe had a chocolate factory in the back and a soda fountain up front, where such concoctions as the Graveyard Milkshakes ( a mix of every available flavour) and the Three Men In A Tub original sundaes were created and dished out. The National Cafe, said Bruce, was the “largest and most known restaurant in the block (2900-30th Avenue) all during the Second World War due to the thousands of soldiers training at the army camp on Mission Hill.” On Dec. 9, 2021, the highly popular Facebook page Vintage Vernon ran the exact same photo, courtesy of the museum. Gayle commented that her uncle Jeff was her best friend when she was a little girl. The same photo hangs in her home, she said. And a man named Ronald Smith commented that “Jeff was a real gentleman, and was always very kind and polite with my mother and me.” Smith also mentioned that he worked for Capitol Taxi as a kid and had many interactions with Curly Pulos.
