The 12th National Academic Annual Conference on Low Temperature Biomedical and Equipment was grandly held on October 17th, with a gathering of heroes in Quancheng

　　On the morning of October 17, 2020, the 12th National Academic Annual Conference on Low Temperature Biomedical and Equipment was grandly held in Jinan, Quanzhou. The conference was themed "Low Temperature Helps Healthy China" and lasted for two days. More than 100 low-temperature biomedical experts from across the country attended the conference.

　　Wang Chao, Secretary General of the Small Refrigerator Low Temperature Biomedical Professional Committee of the China Refrigeration Society, Liu Baolin, Dean of the School of Medical Devices and Food at Shanghai University of Technology, Deputy Director of the Modern Minimally Invasive Medical Devices and Technology Engineering Research Center of the Ministry of Education, Deputy Director of the Small Refrigerator Low Temperature Biomedical Professional Committee of the China Refrigeration Society, and Leader of the Low Temperature Biology Group of the Biological Sample Bank Branch of the China Medical Biotechnology Association, More than 20 well-known experts in the field of low-temperature biomedical medicine from China, including Bi Yanwen, Chief Physician of Cardiovascular Surgery at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and Chairman of Shandong Provincial Association of Low Temperature Medicine, Wei Qiang, Deputy Director of Laboratory Management Department of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and Director of National Pathogenic Microbial Resource Bank, were invited to attend the conference.

　Wang Baoqing, President of Yinfeng Biotechnology Group Co., Ltd., Chu Zhonghua, Director of Shandong Province Umbilical Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cell Bank, Jia Chunsheng, General Manager of Yinfeng Low Temperature Medical Technology Co., Ltd., Tang Wenming, General Manager of Sichuan Haishengjie Low Temperature Technology Co., Ltd., and Cheng Jinsheng, General Manager of Shanghai Dongfulong Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. were invited to attend the conference.

　At the opening ceremony, Professor Liu Baolin announced the opening of the conference and expressed welcome and gratitude to the attending experts in his speech. At the same time, he pointed out that low-temperature biomedical science, as an emerging interdisciplinary field that has gradually formed in recent decades, integrates life sciences, modern medicine, and low-temperature technology to perform low-temperature freezing treatment, recovery, repair, and treatment of human cells, tissues, organs, and even the entire human body. It is one of the most rapidly developing disciplines in the field of life sciences in recent years. Thanks to the joint efforts of modern low-temperature medical experts, the development and market size of low-temperature biomedical science in China have reached an advanced level in the world.

　　Director Bi Yanwen said in his speech that although low-temperature biomedical science is a niche discipline, it is very important. Many clinical works cannot be carried out without the support of low-temperature biomedical research, such as heart transplantation, low-temperature preservation of heart valves and other organs. Low temperature has bought a window of time for life. He called for a closer integration between low temperature and medicine, so that low temperature technology can truly serve clinical and patient needs, and better assist healthy China.

　　President Wang Baoqing emphasized in his speech that low-temperature biomedicine is an emerging interdisciplinary field. Yinfeng Biotech Group attaches great importance to the development of low-temperature biomedicine and continues to explore the mechanism of low-temperature preservation of life resources, as well as the development and application of cutting-edge technologies. It has taken the lead in initiating low-temperature research focused on the preservation, transportation, and clinical application of the human body and human tissue organs, and completed the first human low-temperature preservation in Asia in 2017. At the same time, Yinfeng Biotechnology Group aims at the forefront of global biopharmaceutical technology and is also committed to the research and development, medical transformation, and clinical research of biomedical fields such as human cell, tissue, and organ storage, gene sequencing technology, cell technology, and low-temperature medical technology.

　　Secretary General Wang Chao mentioned in his speech that the proposal and construction of the Healthy China strategy bring new opportunities for the development of technology fields such as biological therapy, biological sample banks, low-temperature preservation of cell tissues, stem cell banks, and low-temperature biomedical research. The Small Refrigerant Low Temperature Biomedical Professional Committee of the Chinese Refrigeration Society has been vigorously promoting cooperation between industry, academia, and research in low-temperature medicine for many years by organizing various academic seminars, new technology exhibitions, evaluating and recommending excellent papers and scientific awards from the Refrigeration Society. This has enabled new technologies to be better applied in practice and serve society.

　　After the opening ceremony, the attending experts gave keynote speeches to the conference on the significance of low-temperature preservation, key issues in preservation technology, low-temperature biomedical materials, and human genetic resource preservation, sharing research results, analyzing bottlenecks and weaknesses, and exploring technical difficulties. For experts who are unable to attend the conference due to special reasons, organize video connections and conduct online lectures. During the meeting, the attending guests asked questions and had in-depth discussions on the topics covered in the report.

　After the meeting, the attending guests visited and exchanged ideas at Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute.

　　This conference is hosted by the Small Refrigerator Low Temperature Biomedical Professional Committee of the China Refrigeration Society and the Low Temperature Biology Group of the Biological Sample Bank Branch of the China Medical Biotechnology Association, organized by Yinfeng Low Temperature Medical Technology Co., Ltd. Shanghai Low Temperature Biomedical Technology Service Platform, Haier Biomedical Co., Ltd., Shanghai Dongfulong Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., and Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute Co organized by Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Public Welfare Foundation.

　　We hope that, driven by the joint efforts of low-temperature medical experts nationwide and the joint attention of people from all walks of life, low-temperature medicine will gradually become popular and gain more and more attention.
