WELCOME SPEECH
WELCOME SPEECH
Dear Colleagues and Dear Friends,
As the coconut breeze caresses the shores of Qiongzhou, and the blue sea merges with golden light to unfold a new chapter, we warmly welcome you with sincere hearts to the 12th Young Researchers' BNCT Meeting (12th 2025 Y-BNCT), to be held in Boao, Hainan, from October 16 to 19, 2025. As the first YBNCT grand event convened on the Chinese mainland, this is not only a significant milestone in the global BNCT community but also a beacon of Chinese wisdom illuminating the journey of life sciences—signifying that the light of technology will eventually brighten the long night of humanity's fight against diseases.
Since its establishment in 1999, YBNCT has always been a stage for young talents to spark ideas and a fertile ground for innovative fires to thrive. Co-hosted by the International Society for Neutron Capture Therapy (ISNCT) and the Neutron Capture Therapy (NCT) Branch of the China-Japan Medical Science and Technology Exchange Association, and co-organized by Pengbo (Hainan) BNCT Hospital, this conference injects new impetus into this groundbreaking technology, leveraging China's leapfrog progress in BNCT research and industrial transformation. We look forward to scholars sharing cutting-edge insights, expanding clinical applications, and building collaborative bridges to jointly sketch the future blueprint of BNCT.
"With the wind beneath its wings, the roc soars ninety thousand miles, gazing at the stars from high above." The Chinese BNCT field is spreading its wings like a roc, soaring in the global scientific sky. Pengbo (Hainan) BNCT Hospital will also set sail on the momentum of this conference; the domestic BNCT equipment and boron drug R&D have entered the clinical trial stage, marking a major breakthrough in China's BNCT technology for clinical transformation. These achievements, like sparks starting a prairie fire, engrave the "Chinese Imprint" in the BNCT field, opening a new chapter for global cancer treatment. Internationally, BNCT clinical research and applications have frequently appeared in top journals such as Nature, Cancers, and Cancer Medicine, with accelerating transnational cooperation. Technology is stepping into a new phase of mature clinical application from an experimental therapy, igniting the light of hope for cancer treatment. With an inclusive mindset, China embraces the world and joins hands with global colleagues to paint the grand blueprint of precision medicine—for true progress has never been a lone journey but an expedition of united forces.
Boao, a tropical pearl inlaid at the estuary of the Wanquan River, enjoys a gentle coconut breeze and clear skies in October. The conference is located at the Boao Forum for Asia Hotel, not only for its poetic view of the Wanquan River flowing into the sea but also for symbolizing the perfect integration of technological transformation and academic exchange—here lies both an innovative experimental field for the "clinical direct train" under Hainan Free Trade Port policies and fertile soil for the landing of Pengbo (Hainan) BNCT Hospital. We specially invite you to visit Pengbo BNCT Hospital, explore its introduced advanced BNCT equipment and boron drugs, experience the vigorous pulse of Chinese BNCT technology, and witness how the "clinical direct train" transforms scientific achievements into hope for life.
"With coconut breeze and sea charm, we welcome all talents; with the light of technology, we shine upon the future." Let us gather in Boao, share the feast of innovation, consolidate the foundation of transnational collaboration, and jointly paint a new blueprint for global cancer treatment.
We Sincerely welcome to your visit, looking forward to enjoying the interweaving of technology and culture with you in the coconut shadow swaying place!
Akira Matsumura, President of ISNCT
Huang Gang, President of C-NCT

About YBNCT
YBNCT INTRODUCTION In order to strengthen international academic exchanges, track industry trends, and promote the industry, the International Society for Neutron Capture Therapy (ISNCT) was established in 1983, and the International Symposium on Neutron Capture Therapy (ICNCT) is held every two years, and BNCT Conference for Young Researchers (YBNCT) YBNCT (YoungBNCT/Boron Neutron Capture Therapy Youth Conference) takes "Nof-rontiers in BNCT" as its purpose, focuses on openness, inclusiveness, innovation, focuses on young researchers, and provides a platform for them to display academic achievements. At the same time, the conference will also focus on displaying BNCT-related nuclear The latest cutting-edge research results and transformation and application progress in many disciplines such as physics, medical physics, molecular chemistry, pharmacy, radiobiology, and clinical medicine. Since the first conference was held in 1999, YBNCT has been held every two years. 2025 will be the 12th and the first time it will be held in mainland China. YBNCT has become an academic feast that enjoys a high reputation and influence around the world.
