A new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating, with the rapid development of synthetic biology, gene editing, neuroscience, and regenerative medicine. The field of life sciences is nurturing new changes. The 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting held here is a parallel forum for the Global Health and Development Forum, focusing on "responding to new global health challenges through technological innovation". More than 230 academicians, experts, and scholars from various fields such as industry, academia, research and investment attended the meeting to discuss how technological innovation can address new global health challenges. "Hello everyone! My name is Barry Marshall and I am a clinical medicine professor in Australia. I was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2005 for discovering the Helicobacter pylori that causes gastric ulcers." Barry Marshall, a member of the Australian Academy of Sciences and a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, opened the speech fluently in Chinese and received applause from the audience. Barry Marshall and his colleagues were awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of Helicobacter pylori and its role in diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers. This basic research has opened up new human cognition and also brought about expanded research in related fields such as detection, therapy, and medicine. He suggested that the development of medical science and technology should pay more attention to basic research, invest in new technologies and research, and provide materials for medical technology innovation. The progress of medicine is closely related to human life and health. "Looking back on the centennial history of thoracic surgery, there are two major breakthroughs: the first is that in the 1930s, the case of lung cancer was cured through surgery, opening a new page in thoracic surgery; the second is the application of thoracoscopy in the early 1990s." Wang Jun, an academician of the CAE Member and president of the People's Hospital of Peking University, said that this minimally invasive technology has developed very fast in China, and now nearly 90% of lung cancer surgery in China can be completed through thoracoscopy. "A challenge faced by lung cancer surgery is the contradiction between the huge patient demand and limited surgical ability. We are solving this problem through AI." Wang Jun said that in recent years, Peking University People's Hospital has collaborated with experts in the AI field from Tsinghua University, Peking University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop artificial intelligence medical modules to assist precision medicine, and the results are gratifying. Chen Jiachang, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology, stated that actively promoting innovative research and development such as basic research can bring more efficient and accurate diagnostic and treatment methods, provide more convenient and intelligent health management solutions, and accelerate the development and promotion of drugs and vaccines. Innovative thinking and methods have injected new impetus into the health industry. In recent years, the pandemic, climate change, conflicts, and economic crises have posed serious challenges to human health. Several attending representatives and experts expressed that China's public health system has undergone multiple tests, and its core health emergency capabilities have reached the international advanced level. However, scientific and efficient prevention, control, and response to public health emergencies still cannot be relaxed. Liang Wannian, Executive Vice Dean of the Vanke School of Public Health and Health at Tsinghua University and Dean of the Healthy China Research Institute, stated that in the healthcare system, there are major challenges currently facing human health, including infectious diseases, threats from chronic diseases, aging population, and climate change. How to organically coordinate capacity building and prevention of the next pandemic is crucial
