NLCS (Singapore) Hosts Inaugural International MUN Conference Uniting Students from Its Global Family of Schools

SINGAPORE, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NLCS (Singapore) was excited to host its first-ever International Model United Nations (MUN) Conference at the end of February, welcoming students from across the NLCS family of schools, including London, Jeju, Dubai and Kobe. The three-day event brought together young delegates for an immersive experience in diplomatic discourse and global problem-solving.

Exploring the theme of ‘Bridges Across Borders’, the conference challenged students to tackle pressing global issues spanning sustainability and human rights, alongside historic crises including the Berlin Airlift of 1948. Across multiple committee sessions, students represented nations from around the world, negotiating complex resolutions from diverse geopolitical perspectives, gaining a deeper understanding of international relations and diverse perspectives.

Bridges Across Borders: Sustainability, Human Rights, and History 

Chris van Dort, Director of MUN at NLCS Singapore, shared: “It is a genuine privilege to host this event for the first time and welcome schools from across multiple continents. Within the NLCS community, these events emphasise our collective vision of raising awareness for global issues whilst acting as global citizens. Running a conference for the first time has been no small task, and it would not have gone as smoothly without the tireless enthusiasm of our excellent students.”

Student-Led Preparation Drives Conference Success 

A significant feature of the conference has been the remarkable level of student leadership involved in its preparation. Much of the planning, training and coordination has been driven by students themselves, with experienced members of the school’s MUN co-curricular activity guiding newer participants on effective debate techniques, research strategies and the art of crafting well-structured resolutions. This peer-led approach has not only strengthened the quality of debate during the conference but also reflects the spirit of MUN itself, a platform where students learn to lead, support one another, and take meaningful ownership of their learning.

One of NLCS (Singapore)’s students delegates mentioned, “Joining NLCS (Singapore) in its founding year made helping organise NLCSIMUN and chairing a committee especially meaningful. I felt immense pride hosting an event reflecting our school’s international culture and academic ambition. Welcoming delegates from sister schools was genuinely exciting – their diverse perspectives made discussions dynamic and insightful. Chairing required vision, adaptability and compassion, deepening my understanding of what MUN truly stands for.”

Student Chairs Guide Debates and Build Community 

During the conference itself, this student leadership takes center stage. These student chairs act as subject matter experts in their respective committees, skillfully guiding debates while creating an inclusive environment where even first-time delegates feel empowered to contribute. They also take on a key role in ensuring that guidelines are followed across the weekend. It’s this combination of responsibility and support that makes MUN such a powerful learning experience, pushing students to lead while simultaneously helping others find their footing.

A committee chair from NLCS London reflected, “Chairing the DISEC committee at NLCSMUN was incredibly rewarding. I was particularly impressed by delegates’ enthusiasm and the high level of debate and diplomacy. It was especially fulfilling to see individuals grow in confidence and flourish throughout the conference. The experience truly embodied the theme of ‘Bridges Across Borders’ and I wished the trip to Singapore could have been longer.”

Beyond the committee rooms, the conference offers rich opportunities for cultural exchange and connection. Visiting delegates also had the opportunity to explore Singapore together, visiting iconic landmarks while building connections with peers from across the NLCS global network. These shared moments culminate in a celebratory gala dinner, bringing all four schools together for an evening that honors not just their accomplishments, but the genuine friendships and mutual respect that have blossomed throughout the event. On the final day of the conference, students also had the opportunity to visit both Gardens by the Bay and the Art Science museum, getting the chance to explore cultural sites together and build fantastic memories.

Cultural Exchange Beyond the Committee Rooms 

For many students, participating in MUN is a transformative experience that encourages them to think beyond their immediate environment and engage thoughtfully with global challenges. They discover their own voices, learn to articulate complex ideas with clarity, and advocate persuasively for positions they may not have considered before. This process of intellectual challenge and personal growth helps them develop empathy, resilience, and the confidence to engage with difficult questions, exemplifying NLCS’s steadfast commitment to developing globally minded citizens equipped with critical thinking, diplomacy, and collaborative problem-solving skills needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected world.

Ultimately, they learn that effective leadership isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about asking the right questions, valuing diverse perspectives, and working together toward solutions that serve the greater good

Developing Global Citizens Through MUN 

Students from NLCS Kobe reflected on their experience, noting “It made me realise that if I work hard, I can do really well and that motivated me to be better. I liked how everyone was friendly and supportive and even picked up a few new English vocabulary and phrases, which inspired me to learn more.”

The inaugural International MUN Conference at NLCS (Singapore) has set a powerful precedent for what the NLCS global network can achieve when students are given the platform to lead. Over three remarkable days, delegates from London, Jeju, Dubai, and Kobe did not just debate resolutions – they built lasting connections, challenged their own perspectives, and demonstrated the kind of thoughtful, collaborative leadership the world needs. In creating this space for student voice and international collaboration, NLCS (Singapore) has shown that when young people are empowered to engage meaningfully with global challenges, they don’t just rise to the occasion, they inspire others to do the same.

SST001, an α-syn PET tracer from Mabwell’s incubated company SynuSight Biotech, received NMPA approval to initiate a clinical trial

SHANGHAI, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mabwell (688062.SH), an innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company with a fully integrated industry chain, announced that 18F-FD4 (R&D code: SST001), an α-synuclein (α-syn) targeted PET tracer independently developed by its incubated company SynuSight Biotech, has recently been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to initiate a Phase I clinical trial.

The clinical trial to be initiated is a non-randomized, open-label study to be conducted at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University and the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University. The study plans to enroll healthy volunteers, patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA), and patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, biodistribution, radiation dosimetry, and pharmacokinetics of SST001, thereby supporting subsequent clinical development.

Abnormal aggregation and deposition of α-syn protein are key pathological features of α-synucleinopathies such as PD and MSA. However, current clinical diagnosis still relies mainly on clinical symptom assessment and indirect functional imaging biomarkers. As an α-syn-specific PET molecular tracer validated through IIT (Investigator-Initiated Trial) studies, SST001 enables in vivo, real‑time, qualitative, and quantitative detection. It is expected to provide more objective and quantifiable imaging evidence for early diagnosis and disease subtyping of PD and MSA, as well as potential imaging support for subject screening and efficacy evaluation in clinical trials of related therapeutic drugs.

According to data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 1990–2021, there were approximately 11.8 million PD patients worldwide in 2021, of which Chinese patients accounted for more than 40%. In China, the number of PD patients increased significantly from 651,800 in 1990 to 5.077 million in 2021, driven mainly by population aging. Although MSA is a rare disease, it progresses more rapidly and has a poorer prognosis, with a median survival of only 6 to 10 years, resulting in a significant disease burden.

Previously, SST001, partnering with XingImaging, has received high recognition from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) and obtained a research grant of US$3.84 million, which will be specifically used to support its clinical research advancement in the United States. In January this year, SST001 received a Research IND clearance from the U.S. FDA, and clinical studies have been successfully initiated with the first subject dosed. Relevant data are being continuously collected. SST001 has now entered clinical stage in both China and the United States, entering a new phase of global development.

Heavy industry could grow global output while using up to 45% less energy by 2050

  • 30-50% of costs for heavy industry come from energy consumption
  • 25-45% reduction in energy use across aluminium, aviation, cement, plastics & chemicals, shipping and steel is achievable through energy productivity measures including longer product lifetimes and higher recycling rates 
  • A c.40%-60% reduction in “green premiums” for aviation and shipping is possible by combining energy productivity with decarbonisation

LONDON, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Improving energy productivity can meet rising needs for housing, mobility and goods while reducing reliance on expensive fossil fuels and the need for new energy infrastructure, says a new report from the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) and Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) published today.

Energy productivity measures the economic value generated from each unit of energy – improving it delivers the same (or greater) output from less energy. The report shows that more efficient ships, planes and industrial plants, using less material, using things for longer and recycling more can reduce the cost and complexity of decarbonising energy-intensive industries while strengthening industrial competitiveness. 

Energy-intensive sectors, aluminium, aviation, cement, plastics & chemicals, shipping and steel, form the foundations of modern economies: our houses, transport and goods. Together, these sectors account for around a quarter of global energy demand.

By 2025, steel, aluminium, cement and plastics & chemicals demand is expected to grow 25%-100%, aviation 150%, and shipping 45%, driven by rising global prosperity, urbanisation and industrialisation. This growth could be delivered using 25-45% less energy and at lower cost, by improving energy productivity, compared to a scenario with no productivity gains, says the new briefing Harnessing energy productivity for industrial competitiveness.  

Three complementary strategies can reduce energy demand across energy-intensive sectors:

1. Technical efficiency – reducing the kWh input required to deliver the same product or service.

2. Service efficiency – reducing the volume of product or service required to deliver the same standard.

3. Material efficiency – reducing the material input to deliver a given product. 

“Clean electricity and low-carbon fuels are essential to decarbonise steel, cement, plastics & chemicals, aluminium, aviation and shipping – and while they carry modest “green premiums”, these are manageable at consumer level. Improving energy productivity by using materials more efficiently and deploying better technologies, enables us to meet rising demand for buildings, products and transport while reducing energy demand and related costs,” said Adair Turner, Co-Chair of the Energy Transitions Commission.

The energy crisis provoked by the conflict in the Middle East is a reminder of how exposed many economies still are to fossil energy supply disruptions and price spikes that feed through into everything from transport and industry to food production. The shift to clean industrial supply chains, anchored to a much greater extent in domestically produced energy, chemicals, and materials (including recycled materials), is essential to make economies more resilient. And using these resources more effectively will make the transition cheaper and faster. said Faustine Delasalle, CEO of Mission Possible Partnership.

The opportunity is substantial. Recycling aluminium is approximately 95% less energy-intensive than new production. In cement, reducing clinker content and optimising building design represent the largest levers to lower energy requirements.

Decarbonising some energy-intensive sectors requires a transition to low-carbon solutions, such as hydrogen, ammonia, bioresources, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). These low-carbon solutions are themselves energy intensive and depend on a scaling up of clean energy infrastructure. As industries adopt low-carbon solutions, productivity improvements can limit cost increases to materials and transport, and reduce the impact on businesses and consumers.

The Energy Transitions Commission and Mission Possible Partnership’s work is anchored in four priorities that define this decisive decade: Doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvement to 4% per year by 2030; Tripling global renewable power capacity by 2030; Electrify – scaling clean electrification of growing energy demand; and Build Clean Now, moving clean industrial capacity from ambition to execution. Energy productivity improvements align with all four priorities.

Telix Doses First Patient in Phase 3 IPAX-BrIGHT Trial of TLX101-Tx for Recurrent Glioblastoma

MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, “Telix”) today announces that the first patient has been dosed with TLX101-Tx (¹³¹I-iodofalan) in Telix’s pivotal IPAX BrIGHT trial[1], marking the first radiopharmaceutical therapy to enter Phase 3 development for glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

The patient was dosed at Austin Health in Melbourne, Australia, under the supervision of Professor Hui Gan. IPAX BrIGHT is assessing the safety and efficacy of TLX101-Tx in combination with chemotherapy (lomustine), compared to chemotherapy alone. The global, multicenter, open-label study will enroll patients with radiographically confirmed recurrent glioblastoma at first recurrence.

Telix’s commitment to advancing care for patients with glioblastoma is driven by the significant unmet need in this space. In the past 25 years, only two drugs have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for glioblastoma[2], and no standard treatment currently exists for recurrent disease. Patients therefore face limited treatment options after initial therapy. TLX101-Tx offers a novel approach by targeting the L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), a transporter that enables the radiopharmaceutical to cross the blood-brain barrier and delivers therapy directly to the tumor.

IPAX BrIGHT expands upon promising data from earlier trials in the recurrent glioblastoma setting, including IPAX-1[3], which reported a median overall survival (OS) of 13 months from the initiation of treatment with TLX101-Tx, or 23 months from initial diagnosis[4]. Preliminary results from the IPAX-Linz investigator-initiated trial of TLX101-Tx were consistent and confirmatory to IPAX-1, with a median OS of 12.4 months from initiation of treatment and 32.2 months from initial diagnosis[5]. Beyond the clinical trial setting, an early access program for TLX101-Tx in Europe has dosed 18 patients at first recurrence or later, further establishing the clinical utility of TLX101-Tx.

Professor Gan, Director of Cancer Clinical Trials at Austin Health, said, “Based on the prior safety profile and early efficacy data for TLX101-Tx in the IPAX-1 and IPAX-Linz studies, I am pleased to continue to explore this therapeutic modality in the first radiopharmaceutical pivotal trial in recurrent glioblastoma, where there are currently few effective treatment options.”

Dr. David N. Cade, Group Chief Medical Officer, Telix, added, “Through the IPAX BrIGHT trial, we aim to offer a new option for patients affected by glioblastoma. This registration-enabling study represents a major step forward in our mission to improve therapeutic options in neuro-oncology. With very limited innovation in treatment in recent decades, TLX101-Tx has the potential to become a first-in-class therapy that meaningfully improves patient outcomes.”

The IPAX BrIGHT study has received regulatory approval in Australia, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands with approval being sought in additional jurisdictions. Telix’s investigational PET[6] imaging agent for glioma, TLX101-Px (floretyrosine F 18) will be used for patient selection in IPAX BrIGHT, as well as assessing metabolic tumor response according to PET RANO 1.0[7].

About TLX101-Tx

TLX101-Tx (131I-iodofalan) is a systemically administered radiopharmaceutical therapy that targets L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), which is typically over-expressed in glioblastoma. TLX101-Tx utilizes a small molecule approach due to the need to cross the blood brain barrier, the normal protective barrier that prevents many potential drug candidates entering the brain. In addition to the IPAX-1 and IPAX-Linz studies, TLX101-Tx is also under investigation in the IPAX-2 Phase 1 study in combination with post-surgical standard of care treatment in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma[8]. TLX101-Tx has received orphan drug designation in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of glioma. TLX101-Tx and TLX101-Px have not received a marketing authorization in any jurisdiction.

About glioblastoma  

Glioblastoma (GBM), is a high-grade glioma and the most common and aggressive form of primary brain cancer, with approximately 22,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the U.S.[9]. The mainstay of treatment for GBM comprises surgical resection, followed by combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite such treatment, recurrence occurs in almost all patients[10], with an expected survival duration of 12-15 months from diagnosis[11].

Telix Successfully Prices and Upsizes US$600 Million Convertible Bonds

MELBOURNE, Australia and Indianapolis, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX) (“Telix“) is pleased to announce that it has successfully priced and upsized its 1.50 per cent convertible notes due 2031 to be issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Telix Pharmaceuticals (Investments) Inc. (the “Issuer“), and guaranteed by Telix and Telix Pharmaceuticals (US) Inc. from US$550 million to US$600 million due to strong demand (the “Offering“). The convertible notes, also referred to as “convertible bonds” (“Convertible Bonds“), are convertible into fully paid ordinary shares in Telix (“Ordinary Shares“). The Offering received strong support from eligible investors globally.

The initial conversion price of the Convertible Bonds is US$13.85 (~A$19.55) per Ordinary Share, which represents a conversion premium of 37.5 per cent over the reference share price (A$14.22 per Ordinary Share), subject to anti-dilution adjustments set out in the final terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds.

The Convertible Bonds will bear interest at a rate of 1.50 per cent per annum. Interest will be payable quarterly in arrear on 22 January, 22 April, 22 July and 22 October in each year, beginning on 22 July 2026. The Convertible Bonds will mature on or about 22 April 2031, unless redeemed, repurchased, or converted in accordance with their terms.

Under the reverse bookbuilding process announced by Telix on 14 April 2026 (the “Concurrent Repurchase“), Telix will concurrently repurchase approximately A$637 million of its existing A$650 million convertible bonds due 2029 (“Existing Convertible Bonds“). The Concurrent Repurchase will result in the repurchase and cancellation of more than 85% of the Existing Convertible Bonds. Telix intends to exercise its right to redeem the remaining Existing Convertible Bonds.

Settlement of the Offering and the Concurrent Repurchase is expected on 22 April 2026 and is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions. The Existing Convertible Bonds that are to be repurchased will be cancelled in accordance with their terms and conditions.

Managing Director and Group CEO, Dr. Christian Behrenbruch, said: “The successful completion of the convertible bonds refinance is in line with our capital management strategy and provides financial flexibility for Telix. We are pleased with the support we have received from both existing and new investors as part of the concurrent repurchase and new issue of convertible bonds.” 

J.P. Morgan Securities plc (“J.P. Morgan“) is Sole Bookrunner on the Offering and Sole Dealer Manager on the Concurrent Repurchase.

J.P. Morgan completed the delta placement of Ordinary Shares at a clearing price of A$14.22 per Ordinary Share, which represents an 8.0 per cent discount to Telix’s closing price of A$15.45 on 14 April 2026 and a 3.2 per cent discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price per share of A$14.69. This acts as the reference price to determine the initial conversion price of the Convertible Bonds.
