On December 9, the launch ceremony of the ZJU-Angelalign Research & Development Center for Intelligent Healthcare was held on the International Campus, Zhejiang University. The two sides will carry out industry-university research cooperation in machine learning, intelligent medical treatment, and digital oral medicine technology to integrate resources and jointly promote innovation and ambitious forward development.
Professor LI Erping, Director of the ZJU-Angelalign Research & Development Center and Vice Dean of the International Campus, said that this R&D Center will be based at Zhejiang University-University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Institute (ZJUI). The Center will focus on intelligent medical treatment, enhancing the technical strengths of both sides, producing innovative achievements in dental healthcare and related fields, creating environments for engineering application, and cultivating engineering leaders for the future. It was his expectation that the launch of the R&D Center could further strengthen industry-university research cooperation, break the bottleneck in the development of intelligent dental healthcare treatment, and make positive contributions to impact digital oral diagnosis and treatment technology all round the world.
Ms LI Huamin, Founder and CEO of Angelalign Group, remarked that the R&D Center will foster new growth drivers with the support of Zhejiang University (ZJU) and become an icon in the field of intelligent dental healthcare at home and even abroad. In addition to collaborating in scientific research, Angelalign Group will strive to create a first-class research platform and practice base for students, while constantly exploring new models and paths for industry-university research cooperation.
This is the first university-industry joint research center established by ZJUI, and Professor LI Hanying, Vice Dean of ZJUI, said that the collaboration between the Angelalign Group and ZJUI will create an innovation platform integrating scientific research, technology development, and application practice, which will bring a wave of more powerful scientific and technological innovation to the dental healthcare industry. He expects more in-depth exchanges in more areas between the two sides to provide a broader platform for scientific research and industrial application for ZJUI students.
After the ceremony, relevant staff of the R&D Center explored the scientific research environment of the International Campus, ZJU. They were joined by guests from the Sci-Tech Academy of ZJU, the International Campus of ZJU, ZJUI, the College of Information Science & Electronic Engineering of ZJU, Haining Juanhu Lake International Science Park, and Angelalign Group.
