The intersection of medicine and engineering jointly promotes children's health—The Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and the School of Artificial Intelligence of Nanjing University of Science and Technology held a seminar

In order to deepen the cross-integration of medicine and engineering and promote in-depth collaborative innovation in the field of artificial intelligence technology and children’s medicine, on the afternoon of March 20, 2026, the Children’s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University and the Key Laboratory of Intelligent Medical Image Computing (IMIC) jointly held an academic seminar on the cross-section of medicine and engineering. The expert team of the Children’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and the scientific research backbones in IMIC-related fields gathered together to conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions around the innovative applications of artificial intelligence in children’s medical research, clinical diagnosis and treatment, and children’s health security. At the meeting, representatives from both sides introduced the core research directions, scientific research results and clinical practice experience of their respective teams. They agreed that the intersection of pediatric medicine and artificial intelligence has broad development prospects. In the future, they will rely on their respective advantages to deepen cooperation in joint scientific research, data resource sharing, and joint talent training, and jointly promote the application of medical-engineering intersection technologies.

The intelligent diagnosis model based on biopsy pathology developed by Dr. Chengfei Cai of IMIC Lab can significantly improve the clinical diagnosis efficiency of inflammatory bowel disease.

The paper “IBDAIM: Artificial intelligence for analyzing intestinal biopsies pathological images for assisted integrated diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease” by Dr. Cai Chengfei of Jiangsu University Key Laboratory of Intelligent Medical Image Computing (IMIC) was accepted by the International Journal of Medical Informatics. This result is the latest research result of cross-medical collaboration between the IMIC Lab (Professor Xu Jun’s team) and the Pathology Department of Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University School of Medicine (Director Sun Qi’s team). It provides a new AI solution for the auxiliary diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. Current research in the field of computational pathology has made significant progress in the field of tumor pathology, but there are still obvious deficiencies in research on non-neoplastic lesions (especially inflammatory lesions). In particular, the identification and detection of intestinal inflammatory lesions face many challenges.
