At AACR 2026, Insilico will unveil four novel cancer inhibitors discovered via its end-to-end Pharma.AI platform. By harnessing trillions of data points and millions of molecular fragments, the platform integrates generative biology for target discovery with generative chemistry for de novo molecular design, accelerating the path from data to drug candidates.

NCCN brought together more than a thousand oncology professionals at the NCCN 2026 Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, with hundreds more joining virtually. This year’s event featured educational sessions on the latest breakthroughs in cancer prevention and treatment, clinical guidelines updates, guidance for improving cancer center operations, plus panel discussions on critical issues in care delivery.

More than seventy years after Alan Turing posed the question of whether machines could think, advances in artificial intelligence have shifted the focus from imitation to collaboration. As AI increasingly undertakes complex academic tasks through multi-agent collaboration, a new question emerges: beyond the Turing Test, how should the human role in research be redefined?

The “Action for Earth” Summit, one of the flagship events of Hong Kong Climate Week 2026, is being held today at Rayson Huang Theatre, The University of Hong Kong. The Summit brought together representatives from the United Nations, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Hong Kong SAR Government, the business sector, and leading international academic institutions to examine policy pathways, frontier research and actionable strategies for climate adaptation—reflecting the growing international consensus to shift the focus from “mitigation” to proactive “adaptation”.

Initiated and hosted by the University of Hong Kong (HKU)’s Institute for Climate and Carbon Neutrality (ICCN), Hong Kong Climate Week 2026 marks its opening today under the theme “From Mitigation to Adaptation — Bridging Global Consensus and Local Implementation.” The week-long event aims to harness Hong Kong’s unique strengths as an international financial centre and a global connectivity hub to accelerate a just, inclusive and resilient net-zero transition. It also underscores Hong Kong’s role as a “two-way bridge,” connecting the Chinese Mainland with the world, advancing the deployment of climate technology, and channelling green finance.

The HKU Musketeers Foundation Institute of Data Science (HKU IDS) at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) will host the Hong Kong Global AI Governance Conference 2026 on 10–11 April at the Rayson Huang Theatre. The Conference will bring together scholars, policymakers, and industry leaders from around the world to discuss emerging issues in artificial intelligence governance.

After decades of progress, longevity science may be facing a paradox: more knowledge, but limited impact. Some researchers now suggest the field may have failed not because of insufficient data, but because of flawed strategy.
