The GASE newsletter published in June highlights the achievements of academic and medical institutes in science and technology-based epidemic prevention; these highlights encompass COVID-19 detection, prediction models, AI-assisted diagnosis, and advances in drug studies. It shows that a strong scientific research capability and dedication to basic science are the key supports for Taiwan to assist the international community to overcome COVID-19. Taiwan has already won international respect to fight with COVID-19. In the future, the MOST will muster the collective forces of various ministries to make Taiwan's scientific research capability a trustable model of epidemic prevention.
