Background
Advanced medical devices form the foundation of public health and hold significant strategic importance in many countries. To improve people’s livelihoods and promote economic development in the Belt and Road region, and to encourage more young scientists from Belt and Road and other developing countries to pursue careers in biomedical engineering and technology, the Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology (SIBET) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will organize an international training workshop on Biomedical Imaging Technology this year.
SIBET is the only institute within CAS dedicated to the research and development of biomedical instruments. To address critical demands in biomedical products, it focuses on basic, strategic, and forward-looking research in advanced biomedical instruments, reagents, and materials. It promotes the development of biomedical engineering technologies and has established a platform for the innovation and transformation of medical devices. Its main research areas include medical optics, biomedical diagnostics, and rehabilitation technology.
The training workshop will focus on innovation and transformation in advanced medical devices, covering three topics: Advanced In Vitro Diagnostic Technology, Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Engineering Technology, and Biomedical Imaging Technology. This program aims to foster communication, collaboration, and capacity building among countries in the Belt and Road region to address common scientific and technological challenges.
