CAYHIC Day 1: Recap
Ulugbek Baymuradov — From Gene to Medicine: Retracing a Cancer Drug's Discovery with AlphaFold and Free Genomics Tools
1. Breast cancer is the #1 cancer among women in all five Central Asian countries — and about 1 in 5 cases is HER2-positive, exactly the kind this drug targets.
2. There are 1,735 trastuzumab clinical trials registered worldwide — only 2 in Kazakhstan, and 0 in Uzbekistan and the other three countries.
3. Every step of drug discovery now has a free tool anyone can try: cBioPortal for genes, UniProt and AlphaFold for proteins, RCSB PDB in 3D, DepMap for cells, and ClinicalTrials.gov for real-world trials.
Ulugbek has also shared valuable materials and exciting competitions for our participants. Thank you, Ulugbek, for your contribution and support!

Ulugbek Baymuradov — From Gene to Medicine: Retracing a Cancer Drug's Discovery with AlphaFold and Free Genomics Tools
Ulugbek traced the real story of one cancer drug — trastuzumab (Herceptin) — from the discovery of the HER2 gene in 1985 all the way to today's next-generation antibody drugs, showing the free tools scientists actually use at every step along the way.

🧬 Our first cohort of 200 students is officially taking on the CAYHIC '26 Health Innovation Challenge!
Over the coming days, our participants will research, build, and pitch real solutions to real healthcare problems — topics like an AI Health Interpreter, a Digital Health Passport, a Rural Healthcare Navigator, a Mental Health Early-Support Tool, and more.
Our judging panel will be announced soon — and every team will pitch their idea directly to them.
🏆 Top 3 presentations win an award of recognition
🎓 Every participant receives a Certificate of Participation
We can't wait to see what this generation of future health innovators brings to the table.

Mr Jason Ali — Predicting the Unpredictable: How Data Is Changing Cardiac Surgery Risk
1. Clinical data can estimate surgical risk, including the chance of death during an operation.
2. A model is only useful if it stays accurate on real patients, so careful validation matters.
3. Surgery increasingly combines doctors' expertise with data-driven tools.
Thank you, Jason, for such a clear look into where data and surgery meet!

Dr Erica Richardson — Health Systems and Universal Health Coverage: An Introduction
Key takeaways:
1. Health systems are typically assessed across several dimensions — financing, governance, service delivery, and workforce — rather than judged on any single metric.
2. Universal Health Coverage is usually described as a direction countries move toward, not a single endpoint, since countries reach it through different reform paths based on their own systems and resources.
3. Comparative health system reviews, the kind of work Dr Richardson edits for the region, are typically used to identify which reforms in one country might apply usefully to another.
Thank you, Dr Richardson, for such a clear introduction to how health systems actually work!

Dr Erica Richardson, Technical Officer at the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies and Honorary Associate Professor at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, introduced how health systems work, the challenges they face, and how meaningful reforms can help countries move closer to Universal Health Coverage.
