The 12th Xiamen Winter Symposium was held from February 23rd to 26th, 2025. The symposium focuses on the theme of "Metabolic Stress and Health", attracting nearly 200 participants from well-known universities and research institutes at home and abroad to participate in the grand event. Sheng-cai Lin, an academician of the CAS Member, served as the chairman of the symposium.
The Xiamen Winter Symposium is an annual international academic event carefully crafted by the School of Life Sciences. Its predecessor was the "China Singapore Biology Symposium" advocated by Xiamen University, the National University of Singapore, and Tsinghua University, and eventually developed into multiple universities at home and abroad. In November 2009, it was officially renamed as the "Xiamen Winter Symposium". Each symposium focuses on cutting-edge research in the field of life sciences and revolves around different themes. It has been successfully held for twelve sessions and has become a brand academic conference of Xiamen University, receiving high praise from all walks of life.
On the morning of the 24th, the symposium officially kicked off. Professor Xianming Deng, Dean of the School of Life Sciences at Xiamen University, presided over the opening ceremony. Sheng-cai Lin delivered an opening speech, reviewing the development of the symposium and looking forward to the experts exchanging ideas, inspiring inspiration, and exploring new knowledge.
The symposium was co-hosted by the School of Life Sciences of Xiamen University and the State Key Laboratory of Cell Stress Biology (Xiamen University). Focusing on three topics: "Metabolism and inflammation", "Metabolism and tumor" and "Metabolism and aging", it aimed at the frontier fields of metabolic regulation under cell stress, jointly discussed the cutting-edge technologies and application prospects in the field of life science, and shared the latest research results. Baoliang Song and Sheng-cai Lin, academicians of the CAS Member, delivered keynote reports respectively. 18 specially invited experts and 3 journal editors from various universities presented exciting conference reports.
