The third AYS Webinar, held on September 26, 2024 (CST), focused on the application of AI in precision oncology. Professors Hao Chen (HKUST), Katsushi Ikeuchi (University of Tokyo), and Ming Li (University of Waterloo) shared their latest research on computational pathology, highlighting how multimodal data integration can improve disease diagnosis, treatment response prediction, and prognosis, all framed through the lens of information theory and foundation models.

In addition to discussing the technical advances, the speakers shared valuable insights and advice for junior researchers, urging them to think boldly, pursue impactful discoveries, and push the boundaries of their fields. Their guidance aimed to inspire young scientists to achieve excellence in both their academic and professional careers.

The second session of AYS Webinar, held on August 22, 2024 (CST), focused on cognitive sharpness and mental acuity, with presentations by Professors Ho Ko (The Chinese University of Hong Kong), Hee-Sup Shin (Institute for Basic Science), and Xiangdong Fu (Westlake University), exploring the natural progression of time and its effects on our brains.

The summarized biggest questions raised by these professors in their research filed are now available as a resource for young researchers, students, and anyone with an interest in cognitive health. Click the button below to learn more "Biggest Questions" in this session!
