高雄醫學大學舉辦第二屆高雄生醫國際研討會,探討AI技術應用、精準醫療發展及國家健康政策。
高雄醫學大學於10月16日至18日舉辦「第二屆高雄生醫國際研討會(ICOBM 2026)」系列活動,匯聚11國、逾百位講者,吸引逾700人報名,衛生福利部長石崇良、經濟部長龔明鑫分別出席產官學論壇及高階圓桌會議,從健康照護需求、AI技術應用到產業發展,探討臺灣推動生醫創新的方向。
石崇良以「健康臺灣・深耕南臺灣」為題發表專題演講,探討國家健康政策與南臺灣醫療發展,關注人口高齡化及疾病型態轉變下,如何整合醫療資源、運用科技提升照護品質;同場也邀請美國史丹佛大學醫學院錢湘教授,分享前瞻醫療發展觀點。
龔明鑫指出,AI正逐步改變新藥研發、精準醫療、智慧醫療器材及臨床輔助技術的發展模式,臺灣擁有半導體、資通訊產業及臨床研究優勢,經濟部將持續透過科技計畫、產業研發及產學研合作,支持技術創新與臨床驗證,並協助企業拓展國際市場;如何銜接研發與市場,是高階圓桌會議進一步討論的重點。
在研究投入與合作方面,高醫大於活動期間為「高醫體系先進算力中心」揭牌,規劃提供基因體、臨床多體學及醫療大數據分析所需的運算資源,支持AI與精準醫療研究;同時舉辦「高雄醫學大學暨衛采製藥股份有限公司雙年論壇」,邀請台灣衛采董事長胡耀中及日本衛采癌症研發團隊代表交流新藥開發經驗,尋求新藥靶點探索、跨國臨床轉譯及女性癌症等領域的合作機會。
財團法人私立高雄醫學大學董事長陳建志表示,生醫研究需要長期投入,「高醫體系先進算力中心」的建置是高醫推動研究轉譯與精準健康的重要基礎。高醫將結合大學及附屬醫療體系的研究與臨床資源,透過政府、學術與產業合作,支持回應病人需求的科技研發,充實南臺灣的生醫研究能量。
高醫大校長余明隆表示,此次研討會適逢高醫創校72週年,期望讓不同專業與機構透過交流,找到能夠持續合作的具體課題,高醫將以校院體系的研究及臨床經驗為基礎,深化國際合作,推動具潛力的研究成果進入後續驗證與開發。

The NEOPRISM-CRC clinical trial conducted by the University College London team showed that 32 colorectal cancer patients with specific genetic characteristics had no recurrence after 33 months of follow-up after receiving preoperative immunotherapy. However, the study has limitations and cannot be directly applied to all patients.

Australian authorities confirmed that the H5N1 avian influenza virus was detected for the first time on Macquarie Island in the sub-Antarctic region. The deadly virus has been detected in elephant seals and black-backed gull populations. Macquarie Island is an important breeding ground for southern elephant seals, and the authorities have recently evacuated the research station staff due to concerns about the risk of the epidemic.

The NEOPRISM-CRC clinical trial conducted by the University College London and other teams showed that 32 patients with stage 2 or 3 colorectal cancer with specific genetic characteristics (dMMR or MSI-H) had no recurrence after receiving immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) before surgery for 33 months.

A WHO research agency study presented in Hong Kong projects that water pipe smoking will contribute to about 1 million new lung cancer cases globally by 2050, disproportionately affecting low- and medium-development countries.

Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that from October 1 to 16, the number of influenza vaccine doses exceeded 3.15 million, an increase of 15.8% over the same period last year; a total of more than 980,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered, an increase of 39.7%. Among them, the influenza vaccination rate among medical staff reached 55.5%.

The Kaohsiung City Health Bureau announced today three new confirmed cases of dengue fever imported from abroad, including British and Thai tourists and Filipino migrant workers. This year, there have been a total of 32 cases of imported cases, with Vietnam being the largest source of infection. The authorities call on employers traveling to and from Southeast Asia to strengthen health monitoring.
