Biography:
Professor Wang Yanli is a nationally recognized talent, a second-level professor, and a doctoral supervisor. She is a joint professor at the Zhangjiang Research Institute of Fudan University, former Dean of the School of Pharmacy at Hainan Medical University, Director of the Engineering Research Center for Tropical Drug Innovation and Translation (Ministry of Education), and Director of the International Joint Research Center for Human-Machine Intelligent Synergistic Precision Diagnosis and Treatment of Tumors (until May 2025). She has previously conducted scientific research at Harvard University and Clemson University in the United States. Currently, she serves as a council member of the China Invention Association, a council member of the China Medical Imaging AI Industry-University-Research Innovation Alliance, Vice Chairperson of the Contrast Agent Technology Branch of the China Medical Biotechnology Association, and an expert committee member of the Great Health Committee of the United Nations World Silk Road Forum. Her research focuses on the development of intelligent targeted nanoformulations and their applications in tumor diagnosis and therapy, as well as the development of related medical devices. Her work spans new methods, novel probes, innovative formulations, and new mechanisms, achieving breakthroughs from basic research to industrial-scale production and productization. She has made significant strides in clinical applications such as early cancer screening, gastrointestinal imaging, and brain tumor therapy. By emphasizing precision and innovation, her work offers new approaches for precision tumor diagnosis and treatment and the transformation of health concepts. In the global biomedical innovation arena, her team adheres to the principle of combining international vision with humanistic warmth, transcending the technical dimension in clinical practice. Together, they authored the book Humanistic Health Science, which received endorsements from six academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The book advocates for a shift in health concepts from "treating disease" to "preventing disease," transitioning from laboratory technical breakthroughs to humanistic care in health concepts. It provides a replicable "Chinese solution" for global precision tumor diagnosis and treatment, driving the development of more efficient and accessible technologies.
