Each keynote speaker will share their expertise and groundbreaking research in development and use of AI across various biomedical fields. These keynote lectures are organised in four sessions, with each session covering the latest advancements and applications of AI in these critical areas.

In the “Nutrition, Metabolism and Global Health” session, Jingmei Li from A*STAR’s GIS will present pioneering AI applications in breast cancer risk assessment, while Jason Pitt will delve into scalable genomic data science for cancer research.

The “Respiratory & Infectious Disease” session will feature Namkug Kim from the University of Ulsan, who will share advancements in medical image processing, and Xiaotao Shen from LKC Medicine, who will discuss multi-omics and its application in precision medicine.

In the “Neuroscience & Mental Health” session, explore the neural mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders with Woo-Young Ahn from Seoul National University, and innovative mathematical models for studying the human brain with Parul Verma from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.

Lastly, the “Skin Disease & Wound Repair” session will highlight Zongyuan Ge from Monash University, who will discuss interdisciplinary AI research at the boundary of medical engineering, and Reiko Tanaka from Imperial College London, who will explore the role of AI in detecting melanoma.

These keynote lectures will provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of how AI is reshaping various aspects of biomedical and healthcare research, highlighting the latest advancements and applications in these critical areas.

Interactive and Engaging Format. Unlike conventional conferences, the FEBS-IUBMB-ENABLE event is designed to foster interactive discussions through a combination of keynote lectures, flash talks, short talks, and poster sessions. Participants will have ample opportunities to present their own research, receive feedback, and engage with peers and experts in the field.

Career Development Opportunities. The conference includes a dedicated Career Day, featuring workshops, career chats, and an opportunity fair with sponsors. This day is designed to inspire young scientists about their future careers, offering practical advice and networking opportunities with professionals from diverse science-related fields, such as consulting, scientific publishing, patent law, and pharmaceutical research. The event will feature workshops by SGinnovate, focusing on exploring industrial opportunities in Singapore, and Horizon Europe/Euraxess, which will cover individual development plans tailored to career planning, and funding opportunities under Horizon Europe.

Personal and Professional Development. Attendees can join one of the workshops ranging from career progression and mental wellbeing to career transitions and post-graduate life. We will feature a workshop led by Tommy Koh from the NTU wellbeing office on maintaining mental wellbeing while navigating career progression. Additionally, various scientists will share their career journeys, including Dr. Chan Kuan Rong on career paths for bioinformaticians, Dr. Chia Xin Wei on transitioning from academia to cybersecurity (HTX), Dr. Marlies Wakkee on navigating post-graduate life, and Dr. Fung from NUS Chemistry discussing his career experiences. The career chats provide a unique opportunity to interact directly with these experts and explore various career paths after completing a PhD.

Networking and Social Activities. Beyond the scientific and career-oriented sessions, the conference also emphasizes the importance of building connections and community. Social activities, including a gala dinner, will provide an informal and friendly setting for networking and collaboration.

Altogether, this conference is an unparalleled opportunity to stay at the forefront of AI advancements in biomedical research, network with leading experts, and enhance your professional skills. Register now and join us in Singapore to shape the future of biomedical and healthcare research with AI!
