Using props such as "chopsticks" and "bamboo weaving", Prof. Rao showed attendees the subatomic three-dimensional structure of the African swine fever virus determined by his group, illustrating the assembly mechanism of this giant virus particle, and revealing the molecular mechanism for the virus to invade host cells and evade the immune surveillance.
Keynote Speech Presented by Prof. Rao Focusing on the field of precision medicine, the symposium went with 4 sessions, including “Precision Medicine - from bench to bedside in the era of big data”, “from Cochlea to Auditory Brainstem”, “RNA Biology”, and “Cell Therapy and Targeted Medicine”. More than twenty established scientists from institutions of the United States, Canada, Germany, France, Argentina, Israel and China shared their latest research discoveries in the areas. Speakers in the session of “Precision Medicine - from bench to bedside in the era of big data” Speakers at the session “from Cochlea to Auditory Brainstem” Speakers at the session “RNA Biology” Speakers at the session “Cell Therapy and Targeted Medicine” More than two-hundred scientists from the fields of medicine, life science and pharmaceuticals joined the symposium and discussed with invited speakers on their breakthroughs. During the symposium, all invited speakers enjoyed a tour to SHIPM. This symposium would promote the academic communications and collaborations among the international researchers in related fields, accelerate the innovative development in basic medicine and boost the One Health, while the international influence of SHIPM was greatly reinforced.
