We aim to provide premier lectures in biomedicine.

Biomedical fields have rapidly advanced at unprecedented pace[1]. The rapid advances resulted in two major challenges to physicians and clinical researchers. First, the knowledge in the biology, diagnosis and treatments of diseases explored. It becomes very difficult to identify and absorb the latest yet relevant biomedical knowledge [2]. Second, understanding and conduction of clinical/translational research becomes very challenging for young physicians and researcher [3]. Therefore, we invite the field experts to provide the most updated and innovative ideas in disease-focused biomedical research, as well as their advice on how to best conduct clinical/translational research.
