This conference invited Professor Shengdi Chen, Editor in Chief of Translational Neurogenesis, Professor Xuefeng Wang, Editor in Chief of Diagnostic Theory and Practice, and Executive Editor of LabMed Discovery to attend and deliver speeches. Professor Dong Zengjun, member of the American Society of Immunologists and Deputy Director and Secretary General of the Precision Medicine and Companion Diagnosis Professional Committee (preparatory) of the Chinese Society of Bioengineering, and Professor Wang Gang from Ruijin Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, presided over the meeting. Qiong Yao, director of the acupuncture and moxibustion department of our hospital, Chu Jingshen, deputy director of the editorial department of Diagnostic Theory and Practice, Dr. Wang Erliang and relevant clinical basic researchers attended the lecture. This lecture also attracted the attention of alumni from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Shanghai and scholars from related life science majors such as Fudan University. The lecture attracted nearly 50 colleagues to attend.
Professor Chen Shengdi, a tenured professor and chief editor of Translational Neurogenesis at our institute, warmly welcomed the arrival of two experts from MIT and all the scholars present. Professor Chen Shengdi made a brief forward-looking comment on the current development of diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, introducing that with the arrival of aging society in China, Alzheimer's disease has become a major health problem facing society. He also proposed that the development of artificial intelligence will play an important role in promoting the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, and the content of this lecture will surely bring new ideas and inspirations to relevant researchers.
Professor Wang Xuefeng, Director of the Laboratory Department of our hospital and Editor in Chief of Diagnostic Theory and Practice and LabMed Discovery, briefly summarized the development and application of artificial intelligence in the current field of laboratory science, and proposed that the combination and integration of artificial intelligence development with medicine is the future development trend, especially the application of artificial intelligence in laboratory medicine, which is remarkable. As the editor in chief of the second journal, we warmly welcome all scholars to submit original papers related to new research and progress, and wish this lecture a complete success.
In the subsequent lecture, Professor Manolis Kellis presented the topic of "AI for Genomic Medicine: Understanding and Reversing Human Disease Circuitry", starting from the evolution path of human tools and demonstrating the accelerating phenomenon of this evolutionary process, in which artificial intelligence is an important component. The application of artificial intelligence has achieved remarkable results in human work and life, as demonstrated by its practical application in navigation thinking, which can promote refined teamwork, create and optimize value for planning; The application of artificial intelligence has made astonishing discoveries in the exploration of human disease research, such as the use of artificial intelligence to study disease genomes, creating miracles for the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. He concluded that humans must understand and accept that artificial intelligence has become an inseparable component of us.
Ms. Maria Kellis, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, shared her understanding of the traditional Chinese medicine theory of "yin-yang balance theory" in the pathogenesis of human diseases based on her own experience of suffering from and overcoming multiple sclerosis. She believes that ancient Chinese philosophy, such as the Tao Te Ching and Laozi's teachings, provide guidance on how to become a better version of oneself. The human body is a part of nature, and as a natural person, one should understand the laws of life and actively regulate their own yin-yang balance, which is also a feasible way for humans to self treat diseases.
Finally, Director Xiang Qiongyao and Dr. Wang Erliang presented Professor Manolis Kellis and Ms. Maria Kellis with the "Chinese English Comparative Dictionary of Huangdi's Common Internal Terminology" (translated by Wang Erliang) respectively, hoping to have more opportunities for communication and cooperation with the two scholars in the field of Eastern and Western medicine research in the future.
