On March 26, 2025, the second “Biomedical-X Salon” of Zhejiang University-University of Edinburgh Institute (ZJE) was successfully held in the Room 2A-203. Themed “Regenerative Vitality,” the Salon invited four leading domestic scholars in the field of Biomedical Science to engage in an in-depth discussion on cutting-edge topics such as Regenerative Medicine and Interdisciplinary Life Science Research, offering participants a splendid academic feast.
ZJE Vice Dean Shuhong Xu opened the salon and served as the host, emphasizing, "The Biomedical-X Salon aims to create a cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional dialogue platform to bridge basic research and clinical translation." Dr. Yinhua Jin co-hosted the event.
During the keynote sessions, the four experts shared their insights on frontier research in Biomedicine. Prof. Jian Zhu from Peking University explored the critical role of stem cell microenvironments in tissue regeneration, offering new perspectives for regenerative medicine. Prof. Chengtian Zhao from Ocean University of China presented research on biomimetic medicine inspired by unique regenerative mechanisms in marine organisms, highlighting its potential applications in medicine. Prof. Weijun Pan from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, discussed the mechanisms of nutritional interventions in cell regeneration and anti-aging. Prof. Chengran Xu from Peking University utilized single-cell sequencing and organoid technologies to uncover the rules governing cell fate determination during development and regeneration, providing novel technical and theoretical foundations for related fields.
As an important platform for interdisciplinary exchange, the Biomedical-X Salon fostered academic collaboration and idea-sharing among researchers. Through expert presentations and interactive discussions, attendees gained insights into the latest developments in biomedicine and explored potential research collaborations, laying a solid foundation for future partnerships.
The salon’s success underscores the critical role of academic exchange in advancing disciplinary development. By creating an open and inclusive platform, ZJE has strengthened collaborations with top domestic and international academic institutions. Looking ahead, ZJE will continue to explore scientific frontiers, contribute to the innovative development of life sciences and medicine, and cultivate biomedicine talent with global perspectives and innovative capabilities.
