[Moderator]Thank you, Mr. Li, for your speech. Let’s give a round of applause to Dr. Huang Jiaxue, Vice President of the International Cell Therapy Association. [09:37]
[Huang Jiaxue]Dear Sir Martin Evans, Dear Secretary Zhu Liping, Director Zhang Yuanlong, Secretary Longchun Sun, Academician Wu Zuze, Academician Hao Weishan, leaders, experts and friends from the media, good morning. After the intense and meticulous work of the International Cell Therapy Association and colleagues, we have welcomed distinguished guests in this vibrant coastal city in this harvest season to witness this grand event in the international anti-aging field. On behalf of the International Cell Therapy Association, the organizer of the conference, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you. [09:39]
[Huang Jiaxue]Headquartered in the United States, the International Cell Therapy Association is a non-profit professional association. Founded in 1992, the association has North American chapters, European chapters and Asian chapters, and has regular institutions such as industry and investment professional committees, industrial policy committees, product standards committees and academic committees. The International Cell Therapy Association is committed to promoting the basic theoretical research, product industrialization and technical standardization of innovative technologies with stem cell therapy, immune cell therapy and tissue engineering as the core. The International Cell Therapy Association is an industry organization composed of scientists, entrepreneurs and government regulators. Through academic discussion, the mechanism of cell therapy can be deepened, the product quality and standards of the whole industry can be improved through the popularization of production technology, and the development of innovative technologies and industries can be cared for through the direct exchange of policies and regulations between government agencies and scientists in various countries. The International Cell Therapy Association has always attached great importance to the work in Asia where China is an important member. Here, pluripotent stem cell technology has emerged, with the largest and most diverse stem cell resource bank in the world. In 2013, we will set up discipline branches and professional committees to hold regional annual meetings. [09:41]
[Huang Jiaxue]Due to the development of gene detection technology, the field of anti-aging is increasingly showing personalized characteristics based on different individuals and from different mechanisms. Academia has always believed that aging is a natural process that cannot be intervened. Now we know that different individuals cause and participate in aging through different mechanisms. The aging process can be intervened and delayed, and anti-aging products begin to appear in the form of drugs. Stem cells and immune cells are being discovered and recognized in the field of anti-aging because of their activation of body components and the removal and replacement of aging tissues. Stem cell anti-aging and personal care products have been developed and manufactured, which has become a new field of international cell products application. As always, the International Cell Therapy Association will cooperate with scientists, entrepreneurs and government management agencies in this field, adhere to the scientific theory of basic research in product development, explore the forms of rich stem cell anti-aging products, and improve people’s quality of life by promoting the application of innovative products and technologies. Today, in this forum, we will share the research results of many internationally influential experts, understand the development trend of the discipline and get in touch with the latest beauty anti-aging products. I am convinced that your participation will make more people’s lives healthier and more beautiful. Finally, I wish this conference a complete success. [09:42]
[Moderator]Thank you Dr. Huang for his wonderful speech. Next, please welcome Mr. Longchun Sun, former Vice Minister of Health. [09:43]
[Longchun Sun]Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I am very happy to participate in this international summit forum on the development of anti-aging industry. With the rapid development of China’s economy and the great progress of people’s living standards in the past 30 years, China’s population structure has changed significantly, and people’s pursuit of health has shown more diversified characteristics. Aging is the root of frequently-occurring and common diseases. Therefore, anti-aging medicine faces not only middle-aged and elderly people, but also all adults. Anti-aging scientific research is not limited to geriatric medical care, but the process of delaying aging, which is an important scientific field related to the health of the whole people. China’s anti-aging products with independent property rights are relatively scarce, so we need all of us to make joint efforts, take Scientific Outlook on Development as the guide, introduce and absorb international advanced theories and technologies, and create anti-aging products with China characteristics and adapt to China’s national conditions for the benefit of the people. This international forum has a high academic level. I hope all experts can fully exchange ideas and suggestions for China’s anti-aging field and make our due contribution to China’s health cause. Finally, I wish this forum a complete success. Thank you. [09:45]
[Moderator]Thank you, Minister Sun for your speech. Finally, please welcome Secretary Zhu Liping, member of the Standing Committee of Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, to make a speech. [09:45]
[Zhu Liping]Dear Sir Martin Evans, Dear Vice Minister Wei Jianguo, Academician Wu Zuze, Academician Hao Xishan, Comrades and friends, in this beautiful season of golden autumn harvest, the 2012 International Anti-aging Technology and Industry Development Forum was grandly opened in Tianjin.
