Welcome Message for APAMI 2026

Dear Colleagues,

In the vibrant month of August, as Chengdu teems with life, the Asia Pacific Conference on Medical and Translational Informatics (APAMI 2026) officially commences. On behalf of the Bioinformatics Society of Sichuan Province, I extend my most sincere greetings and warmest welcome to all the esteemed academic colleagues and distinguished guests who have traveled from afar to join us.

Bairong Shen

President of Sichuan Bioinformatics Society

The evolution of medicine has always resonated with the pulse of technological progress. Today, a new generation of information technologies—represented by large language models, digital twins, and generative artificial intelligence—is profoundly reshaping the paradigms of medical research and the pathways of clinical practice. Medical informatics has transcended its role as a mere technical aid, emerging as a core engine for deciphering complex biological systems, driving precision medicine, and accelerating translational research. Under the theme of “Empowering Digital and Intelligent Healthcare through Informatics, and Driving Development through Translational Innovation”, this conference focuses on the application of artificial intelligence in cutting-edge fields such as clinical decision-making, nursing informatics, computational biology of aging, and rare disease diagnosis. It aims to deeply explore new models and pathways in healthcare, fostering intellectual exchanges that spark inspiration for the industry’s future development.

Chengdu, a city that nurtures a vibrant innovation ecosystem and cultivates fertile academic soil, is brimming with vitality at the intersection of biomedicine and information technology. As the host, staying true to our commitment as “platform builders” and “dedicated facilitators,” we are devoted to leveraging the local academic environment to provide all colleagues with a rigorous, pragmatic, and congenial space for exchange. We look forward to APAMI’s global vision and cutting-edge insights catalyzing further interdisciplinary collaborations here, and building a broad consensus to advance the development of medical informatics across the region and the wider international community.

A thriving academic forest is not grown from a single tree; the path to translational success relies on the collective wisdom of many. May this conference serve as an academic platform that inspires innovation and gathers profound insights. During your stay in Chengdu, we hope you will not only reap a bountiful academic harvest but also experience the warmth and hospitality of this remarkable city.

Wishing the Asia Pacific Conference on Medical and Translational Informatics (APAMI 2026) a resounding success!
