II. WELCOME MESSAGE
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to Shanghai!
It’s Shanghai,
It’s your Shanghai,
It’s China’s Shanghai,
It’s international Shanghai!
On behalf of the Shanghai International Conference on Physiological Biophysics 2004, I would like
to express our warmest welcome to you all of about 200scientists from 20 countries and areas in the world.
We sincere hope that the conference will provide a stage (or platform) for exchanging new ideas,
techniques and progress in physiological biophysics for all attendance in Shanghai, one of the fastest
developing cities in the world.
The history of scientific progress has demonstrated a clear tendency that big advances in science are
more and more dependent on multiple interdisciplinary studies, especially in biology and medicine. The
rapid progress in physiological biophysics is a typical sample in speeding the development of life science
and medical science. The purpose of the Shanghai International Conference on Physiological Biophysics is
concentrated in the most important areas of studies, such as brain, cardiovascular,_cellular and
medical_problems. We sincerely wish the conference in Shanghai would reach the goal perfectly.
The world became much smaller than before. Peace, development and cooperation are the principle
matters of general benefit (interest) for human being. We are gathering here to provide our best
contributions to the people in the world with our intuitive knowledge.
Let’s wish a great success of the Shanghai International Conference on Physiological Biophysics
2004 and wish all of you wonderful days in Shanghai!
Thank you all!
General Chairperson of Shanghai ICPB’04
