At the opening ceremony, Shen Jiwei, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Wuhan University of Science and Technology, extended a warm welcome to the distinguished guests who had traveled from afar on behalf of the university. He introduced that in recent years, the university has closely followed its discipline development framework of "One Core (Major Metallurgy), Two Wings (Major Health, Big Data), and Three New Fields (New Engineering, New Medical Sciences, and New Humanities)," focusing on national strategies and local needs. The university has vigorously promoted interdisciplinary integration and achieved remarkable results in cultivating top-notch innovative talents, organizing high-level research, and producing original outcomes. He expressed hope that this conference would serve as an opportunity to establish a high-level platform for inter-university exchanges, deepen the interdisciplinary development of medicine and information technology, jointly explore cutting-edge applications of artificial intelligence in the medical field, and thereby foster the cultivation of innovative talents and high-level research collaborations. This would further promote the deep integration of industry, academia, research, and practical application.
