(Shanghai, September 13, 2025) – The globally anticipated 2025 INCLUSION Conference was recently held at the Shanghai Huangpu World Expo Park. Professor Roland Eils, the Executive Dean of the Intelligent Medicine Institute (IMI) at Fudan University and an internationally renowned computational biologist, was invited to attend the conference. He delivered a keynote speech titled "Data Saves Lives: AI for Disease Risk Prediction and Prevention," showcasing the immense potential of artificial intelligence in the field of precision medicine to the assembled guests.
This year's INCLUSION Conference, themed "Reshaping Innovative Growth," gathered top experts and leaders from the global finance, technology, and industrial sectors to discuss the future development of cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence and fintech. As a major event in the tech world, the conference provided a high-level platform for the exchange of innovative ideas from around the globe.
In his speech, Professor Eils provided an in-depth analysis of how big data and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing traditional medical models. He pointed out that by integrating and analyzing vast, multi-dimensional health data, including genomics, clinical records, and lifestyle information, AI models can identify disease risks with unprecedented accuracy. He highlighted its significant value in the early prediction of major illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. "We are living in an exciting era," Professor Eils stated. "AI not only helps doctors 'see' early lesions that are invisible to the naked eye but also enables the creation of personalized disease prevention plans, truly shifting the paradigm from 'reactive treatment' to 'proactive health.' Data is becoming a new power to save lives."
As a member of the German National Academy of Sciences (Leopoldina), Professor Roland Eils is internationally acclaimed in the fields of bioinformatics, genomics, and digital health. He recently joined Fudan University to lead the development of the Intelligent Medicine Institute. His speech at The INCLUSION Conference, representing the institute on this international stage, not only shared his team's latest research but also signaled Fudan University's strategic focus and growing global influence in the interdisciplinary frontier of "AI + Biomedical Science."
The Intelligent Medicine Institute (IMI) at Fudan University is dedicated to gathering top global talent and building a world-class interdisciplinary research platform for intelligent medicine. The institute focuses on leveraging state-of-the-art AI technology to address major challenges in clinical medicine and to advance precision diagnostics, personalized treatment, and intelligent health management. Professor Eils's report is a powerful embodiment of the institute's core mission and research direction.
Participation in The INCLUSION Conference has provided the Intelligent Medicine Institute with a valuable opportunity to engage with global forces in technological innovation, demonstrating China's ambition and strength in the field of intelligent medicine. Looking forward, the institute will continue to operate at the international forefront, driving more disruptive technologies from the laboratory to the clinic and using intelligent technology to protect human health, thereby realizing the grand vision that "Data Saves Lives."
