Keynote Highlights
Professor Songling Wang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, emphasized that population aging has become a global trend. He stressed the urgent need to address this challenge and improve the overall health of the population.

He noted that national priorities on health are providing significant momentum to the sector.

Professor Hartmut Michel, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 1988, highlighted the potential of research into protein localization within cells and the establishment of the "Human Cell Atlas" will revolutionize disease diagnosis, health monitoring, and treatment.

Professor Jian-Kang Zhu, an academician of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, pointed out that intervening in aging is more important than treating individual age-related diseases.
