Launch of the 2nd International Conference on Health Science and Technology

On the morning of July 24, 2025, the 2nd International Conference on Health Science and Technology (ICHST 2025) officially commenced. The event is organized by Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), in collaboration with the University of Connecticut (USA), the University of Danang, and AVSE Global, with the support of various domestic and international organizations and enterprises.

In his opening remarks, Assoc. Prof. Huynh Quyet Thang – President of HUST – emphasized the growing importance of health science and technology amid global challenges such as pandemics, climate change, environmental pollution, and antibiotic resistance.

“The COVID-19 pandemic serves as a powerful testament to the role of science. Thanks to advancements in genomic technology, the virus was rapidly identified, enabling the swift development of effective diagnostics and vaccines. This clearly highlights the essential role of science in safeguarding public health – now and in the future,” stated President Thang.
  HUST President expressed his hope that the conference will serve as a prestigious academic platform for scholars, experts, and industry partners to exchange ideas, foster collaboration, and develop innovative solutions to improve human health and well-being. 

“ICHST 2025 takes place at the right time and for the right mission – in alignment with HUST’s development strategy and with our shared aspiration for scientific excellence and global impact,” President Thang extended sincere thanks to co-organizers, sponsors, and participating researchers for their contributions and commitment.

With a strategic vision to become a leading research university in the region, HUST has identified Health Science and Technology as one of its four key strategic pillars, alongside Data Technology and Intelligent Systems, Sustainable Energy and Environment, and Advanced Materials.
  Health Science and Technology is an interdisciplinary field, integrating knowledge and technology from many fields. The main goal of this field is to research, develop and transfer technologies, equipment and technical solutions for diagnosis, treatment, care and improvement of human health.

Through these directions, HUST has initiated numerous impactful research projects, contributing to national health policy and emergency response efforts. Notably, the university has established the Health Science and Technology Institute – HST, serving as a hub for consolidating expertise, optimizing resources, and enhancing international collaboration. 

Based on the analysis of world development trends, under the direction of the Party, State, Government, orientation and resources of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, based on practical requirements, the University has focused on seven priority research directions: Medical Devices and Technology, Analytical and Molecular Diagnostic Technology, Biomedical Materials, Medical and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, Food and Pharmaceutical Technology, Health and Environment, Digital Health (including AI for Health and Medical IoT).
  The ICHST 2025 conference took place over 2 days, July 24-25, in Da Nang, welcoming more than 350 researchers from 16 countries and regions, with 104 submitted papers. The conference is honored to feature two globally renowned keynote speakers: Professor Samir Mitragotri (Harvard University) and Professor Kam Leong (Columbia University). The number of scientific articles submitted to the conference was 104.

The main topics of the conference covered key contents such as: Biomaterials and regenerative engineering; Medical devices and biomedical imaging technology; Drug delivery technology and pharmaceuticals; Digital health and telemedicine; Cell and neural engineering... and related aspects.
