Deep learning plays an increasingly crucial role in biomedical research, due to its exceptional data processing capacity. However, single-feature data is far from enough to present a full picture of an issue. Recently, a multi-feature deep learning system was proposed by Prof. SI Ke’s group from Zhejiang University, and successfully applied in accurate glaucoma severity diagnosis.Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. However, manual assessment of the glaucoma is labor intensi...

How many species of birds choose Zijingang campus as their summer or winter resorts? The answer is probably exclusive to ZJU’s bird-watching fanciers. Birding or bird photography has become a trendy hobby in recent years. PENG Chen, a graduate student in the Zhejiang University College of Animal Sciences, is one of the birding fanciers who come to birdwatching almost every day. Let’s zoom in on fabulous birds under PENG’s lens.An atlas of Zijingang birdsIt is first seen this winter in th...

Challenging, stimulating, thrilling, fun. These are the common feelings of watching live sports games. Anyone who has actually watched exciting Olympic Games will surely dream of a signed photo of the cup winners, yet not all of us has the chance to see a world champion in life. However, here in Zhejiang University, students are accessible not only to some world champions, but also to several invigorating classes set up by those shining stars. In this series of ZJU’s world-champion teachers, le...

On November 26th, 30 Zhejiang University students from 18 countries gathered together in a conference room resembling the General Assembly Hall of the UN. In the semicircle around the stage were sitting some audience who were dressed in their usual comfortable jeans and hoodies, but the model United Nations (UN) delegates were in suits or other formal clothes. Every delegate had a plate in front of him or her, on which the country’s name that he or she represented was printed. Voices of the cou...

The efficacy and safety of drugs are widely known as being determined by their interactions with multiple molecules of pharmacological importance such as transporters, metabolizing enzymes, targets and excipients. However, available pharmaceutical studies tend to focus on the specific type of interacting molecules, which lacks comprehensive descriptions of all molecules of pharmacological importance. In other words, the unilateral understanding of drug-molecule interaction atlas has severely lim...
