Medical-engineering integration boosts high-quality prevention and control of chronic diseases. The 2025 Life Science and Technology Conference was successfully held in Hangzhou.
From December 5th to 7th, 2025, the 2025 Life Science and Technology Conference with the theme of "Medical-Engineering Integration to Boost High-Quality Chronic Disease Prevention and Control" was grandly held in Hangzhou. Guided by the Chinese Medical Association, the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and the Department of Medicine and Health of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and hosted by Zhejiang University, this conference aims to respond to the "Healthy China 2030" strategy and the "Strategic Vision for China's Engineering and Technology Development in the Next 20 Years". It promotes the transformation from a disease-centered approach to a health-centered one, accelerates the integration of biological, information, and medical technologies, and constructs an integrated chronic disease prevention and control system covering "prevention - diagnosis and treatment - rehabilitation".
The year 2025 is the final year of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the year for planning the 15th Five-Year Plan. The "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for Formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" lists "significantly improving the level of self - reliance and self - strength in science and technology" as one of the main goals of economic and social development during the 15th Five - Year Plan period. It also makes special arrangements for the strategic task of "accelerating high - level self - reliance and self - strength in science and technology to lead the development of new productive forces". Against this background, this conference was held to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It focuses on the future development trends of medical and life sciences, the cross - development of medical engineering, and the transformation of clinical achievements, promotes the settlement of outstanding talents and major projects in Zhejiang, and helps upgrade the regional life and health industry.
Global Wisdom to Explore the Industry's Future
The conference attracted top experts in the fields of life science and medical science, as well as elites in the medical community from Canada, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Henan, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region, and other places, along with leaders from many relevant departments.
Centering on core topics such as cutting - edge breakthroughs in life science and technology, innovation in engineering technology, empowerment of information technology, and the cross - integration of biotechnology and clinical medicine, the guests conducted in - depth discussions. Combining domestic and international industry trends, they offered suggestions on how to solve the problems of chronic disease prevention and control through medical - engineering integration and accelerate the transformation of innovative achievements into clinical applications, pointing out the direction for the industry's development and building a consensus to promote the progress of the global life and health cause.
High - Profile Events Release Innovation Vitality
At the opening ceremony, a series of authoritative and influential events were held, including the awarding ceremony of the 12th Shulan Medical Award, the awarding ceremony of the 2025 SATOL · Leading Figures in Life Science Innovation and Entrepreneurship, the 2025+ National Tour of Organ Protection in China, and the annual grand ceremony of Science Talk.
The winners of the 12th Shulan Medical Award were announced. Academician Cong Bin from the School of Forensic Medicine of Hebei Medical University, Academician Ma Jun from the Sun Yat - sen University Cancer Center, and Academician Tian Jinzhou from Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine won this honor. Adhering to the purpose of "rewarding outstanding talents, fostering new stars, and developing education", this award has become one of the most credible social - force awards in the domestic life science and technology field. At the same time, the lists of the "Shulan Youth Medical Award" and the "Shulan Excellence Project" were also announced to reserve new forces for the industry.
The awarding ceremony of the 2025 SATOL · Leading Figures in Life Science Innovation and Entrepreneurship was held simultaneously, and 10 outstanding scientists stood out. As a brand event held for 7 consecutive years, this activity has become an important incubation platform for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in life science and technology. It helps continuously improve the innovation system in the life science and technology field, achieve continuous breakthroughs in scientific research transformation and product development, and promote the emergence of high - quality innovative achievements and start - up projects.
In addition, to meet the needs of people's life and health and industrial development and promote the in - depth integration of medicine, information, and engineering, the Organ Transplantation Physician Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, in conjunction with the National Quality Control Center for Liver Transplantation, jointly launched the project of building a "Large - scale Model for Organ Transplantation Diagnosis and Treatment in the AI Era". It aims to combine advanced technologies, develop new productive forces, achieve AI empowerment, and promote the high - quality development of the industry.
Cutting - Edge Dialogues Illuminate the Industry Direction
During the conference, dozens of top experts in the medical science field and more than a hundred young scientists shared the latest research results in the field of life science and technology through keynote speeches, round - table discussions, and other forms. They discussed the technological bottlenecks and solutions in chronic disease prevention and control. From the perspective of medical - engineering cross - integration, they deeply analyzed how to use technologies such as artificial intelligence and biomaterials to optimize the chronic disease diagnosis and treatment process and construct a health management system covering the entire life cycle, providing intellectual support and practical paths for the industry's development.
The Conference Results Empower the Industry's Long - Term Development
The successful holding of this conference not only built a high - end platform for global exchange and cooperation in life science and technology but also deeply implanted the concept of medical - engineering integration into the field of chronic disease prevention and control, laying a solid foundation for the high - quality development of the life science and technology industry during the 15th Five - Year Plan period.
As an important measure for Zhejiang to implement the strategy of self - reliance and self - strength in science and technology, the conference will accelerate the agglomeration of the regional life and health industry, promote the transformation of innovative achievements into clinical applications, help achieve the goal of a healthy China, and contribute Chinese wisdom and strength to the global human health cause.
