Opening Remarks

  Embracing the AI Era and Strengthening Community Bonding。

At the start of the conference, CBA President Dr. Angela Zeng (Global Clinical Lead at AstraZeneca) delivered a warm and enthusiastic opening speech to kick off the annual meeting. She reviewed the CBA’s 31-year journey since its founding in 1995, detailing its growth from a professional organization launched by a few industry pioneers into an important industry platform boasting over 10,000 individual members and more than 100 institutional members.

Dr. Zeng emphasized that the CBA has always adhered to its three core missions: “Science Centric, Career Development Focused, and Community Bonding.” Over the past year, the association has held traditional career development forums, innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, and scientific symposia. It also innovatively launched a series of activities—such as CFI forward insights and quarterly reviews of industry hot topics—alongside large-scale annual conferences in both China and the US, continuously fostering industry exchange and talent growth. She specifically pointed out that AI is reshaping the entire biopharmaceutical industry chain. From drug discovery and precision medicine to regulatory decision-making, AI has become a vital driving force for industry progression. Dr. Zeng shared the most memorable quote of the event: “In the future, humans will not compete with AI; rather, humans who use AI well will compete with those who do not.” She encouraged all industry practitioners to actively embrace technological changes, continuously improve their capabilities, and create greater value in the AI era.
