From 中国科学院上海生命科学研究院
21世纪是生命科学的迅速发展的世纪，各项新的生物技术如干细胞技术、生物影像技术和病毒包装与转染技术的相继发现与深入研究，大大促进了现代生命 科学的前进步伐，并为进一步开展相关的生物医学转化型研究提供了理论基础。近年来，我国科学家在干细胞、免疫学、神经生物学等方面取得了较为突出的成绩， 尤其是上海生命科学研究院健康科学研究所在转化医学等领域取得了较好的成果。

为了加强国内外相关领域的了解和交流，尤其是进一步促进生命学研究新技术的深入发展及转化型研究的，召开高层次的研讨会就显得更为必要和及时。“第 一届中芬生命科学国际前沿研讨会”于2008年在武汉举行，由芬兰科学院、芬兰生物医学中心、上海生命科学研究院、苏州大学、武汉大学等单位联合举办，受 到了中芬两国专家、尤其是双方相关科研人员的一致好评，为双方专家学者提供了相互交流的平台。在此基础上，2009年在芬兰赫尔辛基成功举办了“第二届中 芬生命科学国际前沿研讨会”，进一步加强了中芬两国生命科学领域的合作和交流。随着各种生命科学研究新技术的不断成熟，第三届中芬生命科学国际研讨会将以 “生物技术和转化医学”（“Biotechnology & Translational Medicine”）。为主题，并拟定于2010年在上海召开。

我们将在上海市举办第三届中芬生命科学国际研讨会，相信本次会议的召开将进一步加强中芬双方的合作交流，并能够提升国内生命科学研究在国际的影响力。
