Dr. Anurita Kapur was invited to she attended major session/events at the United Nations: (1) Special Sessions of the General Assembly (UNGASS) on the world drug problems from April 19 to 22, 2016 held at UN Headquarters in New York, in accordance with its resolutions 67/193 of 20 December 2012, 69/200 of 18 December 2014 and 70/181 of 17 December 2015. (2) The Paris Agreement 2016 Ceremony on Earth Day signed by the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on 22 April and will remain open for signature for one year. See the list below of the 175 Bold–Member States Countries that have signed the Paris Agreement and deposited their instrument of ratification at the Ceremony for the Opening for Signature, on April 22, 2016. (1) Special Sessions of the General Assembly (UNGASS) on the world drug problems from April 19 to 22, 2016 held at UN Headquarters in New York, in accordance with its resolutions 67/193 of 20 December 2012, 69/200 of 18 December 2014 and 70/181 of 17 December 2015. The international drug control conventions were explicitly concerned with the health and welfare of people and provide for protective measures from risks linked to drug use for non-medical purposes (hereinafter referred to as ‘drug use’) and drug use disorders through drug use prevention, as well as through treatment, care, rehabilitation and social reintegration for people with drug use disorders or in need of services to prevent related health problems. Drug use and drug use disorders continue to create an unacceptable burden on individuals, families, communities and societies. It is estimated that a total of 246 million people, or 1 out of 20 people between the ages of 15 and 64 years, used drugs for non-medical or non-scientific purposes in 2013. Of these, 27 million people (or 1 in 10 people who use drugs) suffer from drug use disorders, whilst 187,100 people who use drugs lost their lives prematurely, including from drug overdose. Almost half of the people with drug use disorders also suffer from other co-occurring mental health disorders. Member States have recently recognised the powerful connection between substance use, drug use, health and development by adopting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.5, thus committing themselves to strengthening drug prevention and treatment. This development should 2 be a call for joint action by the international community, national Governments, civil society and the private sector. (a) Demand reduction and related measures, including prevention and treatment, as well as health-related issues; and ensuring the availability of controlled substances for medical and scientific purposes, while preventing their diversion (“drugs and health”). (i) Demand reduction and related measures, including prevention and treatment, as well as health-related issues, including HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care. (ii) Ensuring the availability of controlled substances for medical and scientific purposes, while preventing their diversion (iii) Supply reduction and related measures; responses to drug-related crime; and countering money-laundering and promoting judicial cooperation (“drugs and crime”). International commitment to a collaborative approach to supply reduction remains key, particularly if gains made in this regard are to be sustained and new and emerging drug-related organised crime threats are to be successfully countered. Enhanced cooperation is crucial to disrupting and dismantling drug trafficking organisations. Such cooperation could range from more formal levels, such as between States concluding bi-lateral agreements on mutual legal assistance and technical support, to informal operational collaboration between mandated national authorities responsible for implementing supply reduction strategies. While some progress has been made in this area, still more remains to be done. Cross-border cooperation facilitates effective border controls. Strengthened border management strategies, coordination with cross-border counterparts and professional skills capacity building for border agencies are on-going needs that require support and attention. Sharing information and, as appropriate, developed intelligence on drug-related criminal matters is critical to successful supply reduction. A robust response is needed to counter the serious challenges posed by the links between drug trafficking, corruption and other forms of organised crime, including money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Sub-regional and international 2 networks to counter money laundering are gaining momentum, but they still require support to mainstream their operations into effective counter measures. The regional networks of authorities established for sharing information and coordination on trafficking and anti-organised crime investigations should be similarly strengthened. Analysis of reliable data is needed on the changing relationships between crime groups and the commodities they trade so as to ensure effective policy making and interventions. (iv) Domestic, regional and cross-regional responses to drug related crime; and countering money-laundering, including, where appropriate, in connection with the financing of terrorism, and promoting judicial cooperation in criminal matters. (v) Addressing emerging issues, including new psychoactive substances, precursors and the misuse of the Internet. (vi) Cross-cutting issues: drugs and human rights, youth, women, children and communities (v) Addressing drug-related issues in full conformity with the purposes and the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, international law and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other relevant international law, including the three drug control conventions (viii) Drugs and youth, women, children and communities (vi) Cross-cutting issues: new challenges, threats and realities in preventing and addressing the world drug problem in compliance with relevant international law, including the three drug control conventions; strengthening the principle of common and shared responsibility and international cooperation. Emerging challenges on health The unprecedented emergence of potentially dangerous psychoactive substances, which are not under international control, has led to their increased abuse, hospital emergency admissions, and sometimes fatalities. These new psychoactive substances (NPS), while often marketed as “legal” alternatives to substances under international control, may pose public health and safety threats comparable to those of traditional illicitly used substances. (vii) New challenges, threats and realities in preventing and addressing the world drug problem in compliance with relevant international law, including the three drug control conventions. Emerging challenges in supply The internet has increasingly been used for the illicit sale of internationally controlled narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, precursor chemicals and new psychoactive substances. Various online platforms including social media networks and chat rooms are continually being used by drugs traffickers to advertise and illicitly offer controlled substances for sale thereby gaining access to new clients who may not have actively sought to purchase such substances. One of the new emerging trends after the 2009 Political Declaration has been the use of the Internet, including the darknet, for trafficking purposes, notably for ecstasy, hallucinogens, cocaine, ketamine and other synthetic drugs, less so for heroin and methamphetamine. Such trafficking continues to take place despite of major international law enforcement successes in shutting down some of the major trading platforms on the darknet, such as Silk Road (2013) and Silk Road 2.0 (2014). (viii) Strengthening the principle of common and shared responsibility and enhancing international cooperation, including technical assistance, leading up to 2019 (ix) Alternative development; regional, interregional and international cooperation on developmentoriented balanced drug control policy; addressing socioeconomic issues (x) Drugs, addressing socioeconomic issues and fostering alternative development, including preventive alternative development; (xi) Enhancing regional, interregional and international cooperation on development-oriented, balanced drug control policy. From illicit cultivation and production to trafficking and use, the world drug problem, with all its ramifications, is intertwined with a vast array of social and economic issues. This exerts great pressure on development efforts, which in turn have an influence on the world drug problem. Interventions made in response to the world drug problem themselves generate further interplay with the broader development context and introduce additional complexity to this dynamic. The importance of this interaction is increasingly recognized by the international community, as reflected in the preparatory discussions for the 2016 Special Session of the United Nations General Assembly on the world drug problem. (2) The Paris Agreement 2016 Ceremony on Earth Day signed by the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on 22 April and will remain open for signature for one year. See the list below of the 175 Bold-Member States Countries that have signed the Paris Agreement and deposited their instrument of ratification at the Ceremony for the Opening for Signature, on April 22, 2016. Why is the Paris Agreement such a big deal? Humans are causing global warming primarily by burning fossil fuels like coal, gas and oil, and by chopping down rainforests. If we don't stop doing that stuff we're going to ruin the future. We risk making the planet unlivable for future generations. Warming threatens to drown coastal cities, push animals to extinction, decrease crop yields in certain regions and encourage the spread of disease. The United Nations had been trying for decades to get countries to agree on a framework for fighting climate change, which is a unique problem in that it requires the cooperation of polluters around the world. The Paris Agreement sets in motion a process for steep emissions cuts -- and it establishes the important goal of limiting warming to only 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. Symbolically, the agreement shows something that never has been apparent before: The world is united on this issue. We finally are starting to recognize we have a moral responsibility to act. ************************************************************************************************************************************ Dr. Anurita Kapur attended the High-Level Meetings at the General Assembly Hall and other locations. Anurita stated, she was as always honored to be among the elite crowd which was full of worldwide charismatic leaders who were from the UN Member States of 175 International Countries which included: Presidents, Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers, Ambassadors of Permanent Missions and many Royal Families. She stated, that she felt so exhilarated by meeting all the world leaders out of which many are personally known to her and are her friends who were present there to make a difference in the World and to benefit their respective countries. She said, "The UNGA Sessions are a great time to get reconnected with all my international friends who are like-minded people and it is truly a pleasure to be in their company in New York City to make an impact and a difference in the world." During and after the High-Level Meetings at the United Nations, Anurita yet again had the pleasure of meeting with many of these visiting countries' Presidents and Prime Ministers at the United Nations and at private meetings arranged by them at other locations in New York to further her talks with them about her businesses and collaboration to build hospitals in their countries and to provide medical services to their countries. All of Anurita’s meetings were very successful and well received by the International Countries Presidents, Prime Ministers and others. Since these world leaders thought that Anurita’s ideas and medical projects will be beneficial to their countries, lots of these world leaders are collaborating with Anurita on her medical ventures to build hospitals and to enhance the medical system in their respective countries. Anurita who is very passionate towards her medical and humanitarian services is very pleased with the positive responses of her collaboration with her international high-level friends/partners as she desires to build a hospital in each country of the world not only as an investment but to help people all around the world. As mentioned before, Anurita wants to work with these respective governments of the worldwide countries as their partner in medicine. Our Disclaimer: As mentioned before in Dr. Kapur's Medical Ventures Announcements (For now, Anurita said that she will be keeping all of her high-level meetings & names of all her worldwide governmental partners and contacts confidential for safety and security of the investments and due to conflict of interest reasons. Also, to mainly protect her ideas, investments, medical contracts and her high-level contacts from being stolen and misused by: vulture-like people who are evil minded, greedy, opportunists, having professional jealousies of her work & success and some are just brainless copy-catters who lack originality; thus these crooks are looking for a shortcut to success by stealing her created: original ideas and personal & business styles - these types who had tried to hurt & steal her opportunities from her in the past to deprive her of getting medical contracts which rightfully belonged to her due to all her hard work and causing her to have large sums of losses of money, time and efforts. Due to such negative past experiences, Anurita stated that she does not want to take a chance by divulging names of her high-level international contacts/partners until later.)

(See right above: the list of the world leaders' names and organizations present). Anurita also stated that she had very successful medical meetings with many, many worldwide leaders present in New York and the positive steps that are being taken towards collaboration with those countries. She stated that she expresses her thanks to everyone at the United Nations and to the 9-layers of high level security which included: (NYPD, Dog Squads "K9", U.S. Army Bomb Squads, TSA, FBI, Secret Service, Helicopter surveillances, United Nations Security and Intelligence Agencies of all respective countries accompanying the International Countries Presidents, Prime Ministers and royalties and some more). All of them made this a secure, safe and smooth operation as they were working tirelessly day and night to protect us all during the UNGA Special Sessions & High-Level Meetings at the United Nations. She also thanked many of the aristocratic hotels and places in New York City that hosted her meetings arranged by the world leaders. |

Dr. Anurita Kapur invited to and she attended A Conversation with Her Excellency Irina Georgieva Bokova on April, 2016. Currently, H.E. Bokova is a candidate for the United Nations Secretary General's position. This meeting was held during the heightened security in New York City while 175 World Leaders were in town. H.E. Irina Georgieva Bokova is a Bulgarian politician and the Director-General of UNESCO. She served two terms in the Bulgarian parliament, as deputy minister and acting minister of foreign affairs in the cabinet of Prime Minister Zhan Videnov. She also served as Bulgaria's ambassador to France and to Monaco, was Bulgaria's Permanent Delegate to UNESCO. She was also the personal representative of Bulgaria's President to the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (2005–2009). On 15 November 2009, she took office as the tenth Director-General of UNESCO, marking two firsts. She is both the first female and the first Eastern European to head the agency. At UNESCO, Director-General Bokova advocates for gender equality, improved education and preventing funding for terrorism, especially by enforcing the protection of intellectual goods. A firm opponent of racism and anti-Semitism, Director-General Bokova has led UNESCO's activities on Holocaust remembrance. Anurita was very pleased to meet H.E. Bokova, she wished her well for running for the SG Position at the U.N. and she had many other discussions during their conversations. The United Nations took a historic step Tuesday to open up the usually secret process of selecting the next secretary-general, giving all countries the chance to question candidates on such issues as how they would resist pressure from powerful nations, tackle sex abuse by U.N. peacekeepers, and improve efforts to achieve peace. Montenegro's Foreign Minister Igor Luksic was the first of eight candidates to face members of the U.N. General Assembly, citing his small Balkan nation's multiethnic and multicultural diversity as well as his experience as a former prime minister and defense minister in seeking the U.N.'s top diplomatic post. UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova and former U.N. refugee chief Antonio Guterres followed. General Assembly President Mogens Lykketoft called it "a historic moment ... without precedent at the United Nations." "As the United Nations grapples with multiple crises and the organization deals with some fundamental questions regarding its own role and performance, finding the best possible candidates to succeed Ban Ki-moon is absolutely crucial," Lykketoft said. "For the first time since this organization started 70 years ago, the process for selecting and appointing the next secretary-general is being generally guided by the principles of transparency and inclusivity." Under the U.N. Charter, the secretary-general is chosen by the 193-member General Assembly on the recommendation of the 15-member Security Council. In practice, this has meant that the council's five permanent members — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France — have veto power over the candidates. That will not change in deciding whom to recommend to succeed Ban, whose second five-year term ends on Dec. 31. But Lykketoft told the assembly Tuesday that he views the question-and-answer sessions, which will continue through Thursday, "as a potential game-changer for the United Nations." "If there is a critical mass of countries supporting one single candidate, I don't think the Security Council will be coming up with quite a different name," he said. But "if there are many, many candidates and no clear favorite, it could very well be that the absolute final word will be from the Security Council." By tradition, the job of secretary-general has rotated among regions and Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe have all held the top U.N. post. East European nations, including Russia, argue that they have never had a secretary-general and it is their turn. There has also never been a woman secretary-general and a group of 56 nations are campaigning for the first female U.N. chief. There are currently four women and four men who have thrown their hats in the ring — six from Eastern Europe, one from Western Europe and one from the Asia- Pacific region. In addition to the three candidates questioned Wednesday, they are: former Macedonian Foreign Minister Srgjan Kerim; former Croatian Foreign Minister Vesna Pucic; former Slovenian President Danilo Turk; former Moldovan Foreign Minister Natalia Gherman; and former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark, who heads the U.N. Development Program. While Tuesday's session was under way, another candidate announced his entry into the race: former Serbian foreign minister and General Assembly president Vuk Jeremic said in Belgrade that the government will be nominating him. In his lead-off presentation, Luksic spoke in both English and French — the two working languages of the United Nations — and said thank you in the four other working languages as well, Spanish, Arabic, Russian and Chinese. Both Bokova and Guterres added Spanish to French and English in their sessions. Luksic stressed the importance of promoting women in top U.N. posts and said if the secretary-general is from a country in the developed north, the deputy secretary- general should be from the developing south. And he proposed that the deputy secretary-general be based in Nairobi to focus on implementing the new U.N. goals for 2030 to tackle poverty and preserve the environment as well as key regional issues. Bokova, who is from Bulgaria, said "it's time to give women the opportunity to develop as equal members of society," adding that she has almost achieved gender parity in managerial positions at UNESCO. She said the secretary-general has "tremendous moral authority" and should use it to appeal to world leaders and civil society on key global issues. Guterres, a former Portuguese prime minister, said the most important job of the secretary-general is to deliver results. "Let's be clear: We have too many meetings, with too many people, discussing too many issues with too little decisions," he said. Algeria, representing the Non-Aligned Movement of more than 100 developing countries, asked Luksic how he would resist pressure from the major powers. The Montenegro minister suggested that the question be asked after a first five-year term saying "the only way to measure it is by results." Guterres said in response to the same question: "I cannot say that I can avoid pressure. I can resist pressure." |

Dr. Anurita Kapur at a high-level private meeting with the Honorable Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama, CF, MSD, OStJ Prime- Minister of Fiji, His Excellency Ambassador Peter Thomson, Permanent Representative of Fiji to the United Nations and other Government Officials of Fiji (during heightened security with Secret Services) held in April, 2016 in New York. Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama, CF, MSD, OStJ, Fijian Navy, known commonly as Frank Bainimarama and sometimes by the chiefly title Ratu, is a Fijian naval officer who has been Prime Minister of Fiji since 2007. He was the Commander of the Fijian Military Forces from 1999 to 2014. While serving as Prime Minister, he has temporarily held various ministerial portfolios: Information, Home Affairs, Immigration, Public Service, Indigenous and Multi-Ethnic Affairs, Finance, and Foreign Affairs. On 22 September 2014, he was sworn-in as the Prime Minister of Fiji by President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau after his Fiji First Party won the general elections. Bainimarama has taken power twice in Fiji's history, the first time as Head of the Interim Military Government of Fiji from 29 May to 13 July 2000, after organising a counter-coup to neutralise the ethnic Fijian putsch led by George Speight. He handed power over to the newly appointed President Ratu Josefa Iloilo. He was instrumental in the rise to power of the government of the Prime Minister, Laisenia Qarase, but his intense criticism of the government's policy of showing leniency towards persons implicated in the coup later strained his relations with the regime, and on 5 December 2006, he overthrew the Qarase government and announced that he had "reluctantly" assumed the powers of the presidency. He restored Ratu Josefa Iloilo to the Presidency on 4 January 2007, and was formally appointed Interim Prime Minister by Iloilo the next day. The appointment was declared lawful by the Supreme Court of Fiji in October 2008. Bainimarama stepped down on 10 April 2009 as interim prime minister, after the country's court of appeal ruled the removal of the democratic government during his 2006 military coup was unlawful. President Ratu Josefa Iloilo then announced that he had abolished the constitution, assumed all governing power and revoked all judicial appointments. He reappointed Bainimarama as prime minister. The media has dubbed Fiji a "Bainimarama republic", a play on banana republic. Ambassador Peter Thomson, took up office as Fiji’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in February 2010. He serves concurrently as Fiji’s Ambassador to Cuba. Ambassador Thomson has held office as Vice President of the UN General Assembly for the 2011- 2012 session and as President of the Assembly of the International Seabed Authority for the 2011-2012 session. For the duration of 2013, he chaired the United Nation's largest negotiating bloc, the Group of 77 and China. From January 2014 to January 2015, he served as President of the Executive Board of UNDP/UNFPA/UNOPS. He is currently the President of the Council of the International Seabed Authority for its 2015-2016 session. Between 1972 and 1987 Ambassador Thomson worked as a civil servant in the Government of Fiji in the fields of rural development and foreign affairs. His government career began as a district officer in the rural regions of Navua, Macuata and Taveuni. In 1978, he joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Suva, where he worked on political, protocol and foreign aid responsibilities, before being seconded to the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat in 1979. The Government of Fiji posted him to Tokyo in 1980 as Chargé d’Affaires, with the responsibility of opening the Fiji Embassy in Japan. He remained in Tokyo thereafter as First Secretary (Economic) until 1984, when he was appointed Fiji Consul-General in Sydney. In 1986 he returned to Fiji to become Permanent Secretary of Information, first under the leadership of Prime Minister Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara, and then under Prime Minister Dr Timoci Bavadra. In May 1987 he was appointed Permanent Secretary to the Governor-General, Ratu Sir Penaia Ganilau, a position he held until his resignation from the civil service. Ambassador Thomson has been a board member of the Fiji Visitors Bureau, Fiji TV and Fiji Broadcasting Commission. From 1988 to 2009 he worked in private enterprise as a company director and investment/management consultant specializing in Pacific affairs, with clients ranging from government agencies to regional organizations, banks, universities and investment corporations. He was a founding director of Tabua Investments Ltd, the Denarau Island Resort development company. Ambassador Thomson is a founder member of the executive committees of the Australia-Fiji Business Council and the New Zealand- Fiji Business Council, and in 2007 was made a life member of the latter council. He is a published author, with one of his books, ‘Kava in the Blood’, being the winner of a Montana book award for non-fiction. In 2014 he was made an Officer of the Order of Fiji, an award bestowed by the President of Fiji recognising contributions and achievements by Fijians to the nation. |
Dr. Anurita Kapur was invited to “Amphetamine-Type Stimulants: working towards humane drug policies” This was a conference in conjunction of UNGASS on the World Drug Problem co-organized by Office of the Affairs and Projects under Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha’s Initiative, Ministry of Justice of the Kingdom of Thailand, and International Drug Policy Consortium held in April, 2016. For at least the past decade, markets for amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) have steadily grown and become in some regions, particularly Southeast Asia, amongst the drugs most in supply and demand. Drug policy responses to ATS have typically focused on harsh punishment, leading to disproportionate penalties and sentencing, over-incarceration and criminalisation of low-level market actors (eg. people who use or engage in low-level smuggling and transportation, as higher-level actors are rarely caught), and unbalanced investment in law enforcement measures at the expense of health interventions such as evidence-based drug treatment and harm reduction. These negative outcomes have in turn led to damaging impacts on families, economic development, public health and human security. The objectives of this side event are as follows: (1) Critically summarizing facts and lessons learned on the effects of ATS to individual and society (2) Exchange country and regional experiences in seeking to resolve problems relating to the proliferation of ATS (3) Introduce new alternative approaches to addressing ATS- related problems, and (4) To present the work of Thailand in seeking to manage and resolve the proliferation of ATS with new measures that adopt a more humane approach, and contribute in the realization of the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, particularly the Sustainable Development Goals. SPEAKERS: H.E. Gen. Nivat Meenayotin, Vice Minister of Justice ,Thailand, Dr. Apinun Aramrattana, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Thailand, Dr. Carl L. Hart, Columbia University on “(Meth) amphetamine: Fact VS. Fiction and Lessons from the Crack Hysteria”. Ms. Gloria Lai, Senior Policy Officer, International Drug Policy Consortium on “ATS, harm reduction and associated global and regional drug policy developments”. Dr. Alex Wodak, President of the Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation on “Australia’s Experience of (Meth) amphetamine Control”. Associate Professor Sakchai Lertpanichpun, Criminal Justice Program, Faculty of Social Administration, Thammasat University, Thailand on “Thailand’s Experience of (Meth) amphetamine Control. Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha. She is the first grandchild of King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit of Thailand, and the only child of Crown Prince Maha Vajralongkorn with Princess Soamsavali. On completion of her doctorate Princess Bajrakitiyabha worked for a time at the Thai Permanent mission to the United Nations, in New York City, before returning to Thailand. In September 2006 she was appointed Attorney of the Office of the Attorney General in Bangkok, and currently appointed to Office of the Attorney General of Udon Thani Province. She runs the "Kamlangjai" or "Inspire" project to reach out to Thai women in incarceration including pregnant inmates and their babies, and intends to assure that female and pregnant inmates are given adequate assistance to prepare them to reenter society upon release. She is also working on the project called "ELFI", "Enhancing lives of Female Inmates", which proposes new rules for the treatment of women prisoners and non-custodial measures for women offenders as a supplement to the 1955 Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners. Another project that the princess is engaged in is "Friend in need of 'PA'" or "Princess Pa Foundation". Her mother, Princess Soamsavali and the princess founded the foundation in 1995 when Bangkok was flooded. The foundation aims to help poor people in rural areas and people affected by natural disasters. From 2012 to 2014, she was the Thai Ambassador to Austria, until she took a post at the Office of the Attorney General. |

Dr. Anurita Kapur invited to a medical meeting Topic: Liver Diseases – A 21st Century Global Health Challenge held at the German Mission on May 10, 2016 in Manhattan, New York City. Experts predict that cases of liver disease will double by 2025, resulting in 25 million Americans suffering from chronic liver failure and liver cirrhosis. Chronic liver failure can be treated by liver transplantation, however, the number of donor organs is limited and more than 1.5 million people worldwide are dying of liver failure each year. Liver disease is further complicated by the fact that liver cirrhosis represents the most important risk factor for the development of liver cancer or hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC is a highly aggressive cancer, which makes it the second most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide. We learned about a new technology that identifies therapeutic targets for the treatment of liver failure and liver cancer developed by the award-winning Prof. Dr. Lars Zender. He discussed the role of academic drug discovery infrastructures for rapidly translating validated therapeutic target structures into clinical applications. Zender showed an example of a novel and promising drug for the treatment of liver cancer, which entered clinical trials only 13 months after completion of preclinical testing. SPEAKER: Prof. Dr. Lars Zender, was the youngest Leibniz Prize recipient in 2014. The focus of his research is the liver. Zender has decoded fundamental new mechanisms that enable liver function to be maintained or restored. He has developed innovative mouse models which allow RNAi-based functional genetic screens to be conducted directly in vivo and has successfully applied this methodology to identify new therapeutic targets to treat liver failure as well as liver cancer. The gastroenterologist's and oncologist’s second main area of research is the role of senescence (cell aging) in the development of cancer. Zender was able to demonstrate that the “activation” of senescence prevents the formation of tumors from premalignant liver cells and thus represents an important protective mechanism. His work in both fields has generated vital contributions to basic research and new possibilities for the development and improvement of treatment methods. Born in 1975, Zender began working at Hannover Medical School (MHH) in Germany. During his time there, he became involved in research projects on the regulation of cell death in the liver. After completing his doctorate, receiving his license to practice medicine, and working as an assistant physician at MHH, he joined the laboratory of Dr. Scott Lowe at the renowned Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 2004 as a postdoctoral researcher as part of the German Research Foundation’s (DFG) Emmy Noether Programme. After returning to Germany in 2008, he continued his work as a leader of an Emmy Noether and an independent Helmholtz junior research group, turning down several invitations from institutions in Germany and abroad. In 2012, he accepted a call to a full professorship at the University of Tübingen, one of the universities recognized by the German Excellence Initiative. Zender works as a consultant on gastroenterology and gastrointestinal oncology and leads the Research Division of Translational Gastrointestinal Oncology in Tübingen. He has received several awards for his work, most recently the renowned German Cancer Award. |
Dr. Anurita Kapur invited to and she attended a talk on: THE MORNING THEY CAME FOR US Dispatches from Syria held on May 4, 2016 in Manhattan, New York City. Once in a decade comes an account of war that promises to be a classic. Doing for Syria what Imperial Life in the Emerald City did for the war in Iraq, The Morning They Came for Us: Dispatches from Syria bears witness to one of the most brutal, internecine conflicts in recent history. Drawing from years of experience covering Syria for Vanity Fair, Newsweek, and the front pages of the New York Times, award-winning journalist Janine di Giovanni gives us a tour de force of war reportage, all told through the perspective of ordinary people—among them a doctor, a nun, a musician, and a student. What emerges is an extraordinary picture of the devastating human consequences of armed conflict, one that charts an apocalyptic but at times tender story of life in a jihadist war zone. Recalling celebrated works by Ryszard Kapuscinski, Philip Gourevitch, and Anne Applebaum, The Morning They Came for Us, through its unflinching account of a nation on the brink of disintegration, becomes an unforgettable testament to resilience in the face of nihilistic human debasement. SPEAKER: Janine di Giovanni, Middle East Editor of Newsweek and contributing editor of Vanity Fair, is one of Europe's most respected and experienced reporters.

The number of Americans with Swiss origin is estimated to be around one million. The United States is the second largest export market for Switzerland and an important hub for education and research. Switzerland and the United States are also tightly connected through intensive cross-border investments. The U.S. is Switzerland's most important destination for foreign direct investment (FDI); more so than Germany, France, Italy and the UK combined. The U.S. accounts for one fifth of the total Swiss FDI stock abroad. With over $209 billion in direct investments, Switzerland ranks as the 6th largest foreign investor in America. Not only do Swiss companies directly create nearly half a million U.S. jobs, they are also especially active in manufacturing and significantly outspend the affiliates of all other countries in research & development. The goal of Swiss foreign policy is ensuring Switzerland's independence and security and promoting the nation's welfare. Through its foreign policy, Switzerland also makes a contribution to the alleviation of need and poverty in the world, the respect for human rights and the promotion of democracy as well as to the peaceful coexistence of peoples and the conservation of natural resources.
