To build a strong talent magnet and attract high-level, precision, and尖端 professionals, Oujiang Laboratory has consistently focused on talent recruitment since its establishment. It has now formed 35 high-quality research teams, gathering over 300 high-level scientific research talents. During the forum, a collective signing ceremony for the appointment of high-level talents was held. Experts Zhang Jinyi, Ling Shukuan, and Xie Gang signed contracts to join, collectively driving the high-quality development of scientific research at Oujiang Laboratory and providing intellectual support for building a "pinnacle research facility" in Wenzhou's scientific innovation landscape
On the same day, experts including Academician Gao Tianming of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor Yuan Junying, Academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, Academicians Wang Yutian and Zhuo Min of the Royal Society of Canada, Professor Chen Zhong, President of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, and Professor Yao Yonggang, Director of the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, delivered keynote reports focused on brain health and functional rehabilitation. Their presentations, such as "Research Progress on New Antidepressant Drug Targets," "RIPK1, Cell Death and Aging-related Human Diseases," and "The Application of Peptide-Mediated Lysosomal and Proteasomal Degradation of Endogenous Proteins in Brain Science Research and Drug Development for Brain Diseases," addressed cutting-edge topics in brain health, delving into research challenges and future development prospects, together presenting a high-level, high-quality academic feast.
Population aging is a common trend faced by human society and a fundamental reality for China for a relatively long period in the future. Effectively responding to aging has become a "mandatory question" in the modernization processes of China and countries worldwide. Age-related diseases, represented by Alzheimer's disease, are gradually becoming key topics in actively addressing aging. The "Second International Forum on Brain Health and Functional Rehabilitation and the Third Oujiang International Forum on Alzheimer's Disease," held on November 13, focused specifically on Alzheimer's disease within the brain health field. Sixteen experts, including Academician Wang Yizheng from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, delivered excellent keynote reports on topics such as the potential mechanisms, genomics, genetics, and treatment mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease
