Welcome from the Chair
3rd Life Webinar
Artificial Intelligence for Biomedicine
With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology, biomedical research has undergone significant changes. It has transitioned from empirical and theoretical approaches to data-driven and intelligent paradigms. The introduction of efficient and accurate early disease diagnosis models into clinical practice has greatly assisted doctors in making diagnosis and treatment decisions. AI has played a crucial role in driving innovation in medical diagnosis and treatment, enabling disease prevention, early warning, and precise treatment. Moreover, AI technologies, such as protein structure prediction and protein sequence generation, have accelerated the discovery of innovative medications. This holds the promise of providing patients with more effective and affordable drugs. Additionally, the use of biomedical big data intelligence analysis platforms allows users to access a cloud-native computing environment. This environment facilitates traceability of processes, reproducibility of results, knowledge sharing, and collaborative projects. Consequently, it reduces the barriers to scientific research and promotes the democratization and widespread adoption of biomedical research. This Webinar will introduce the latest development and applications of artificial intelligence in biomedicine.
