The conference brings together leading scientists and experts in the field of biomedical science in the world from the US, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, etc. The conference provides delegates as well as the community developing artificial intelligence in medicine in general, biomedicine in particular, with the latest research and development as well as the market in the field of research and application of AI.
Report by Dr. Pham Dinh Minh at the 7th Tzu Chi - Academia Sinica Biomedical Conference
The application of genetic and genomic testing is booming in the healthcare sector in Vietnam. Recently, we have witnessed the rapid application of tests in many healthcare areas, such as reproductive health, obstetrics and gynecology, newborn screening, cancer and cardiovascular diseases…
As we know, the development of AI has attracted many people, especially those working in the field of research and development. For the general community, the development of AI tools such as China's Deepseek or xAI's Grok has greatly changed the development as well as the application in social life.
Dr. Minh presented the report "Development and application of AI/Bioinformatics in genetic and genomic testing in Vietnam"
In the medical field, although still very new, AI has also been developed. In Vietnam, there are very good potentials, especially the amount of data, the huge amount of data related to health and testing. In particular, GENTIS is one of the large testing units and has a huge amount of data in Vietnam about genetic testing, gene testing. This is one of the advantages of GENTIS to be able to apply to develop as well as research AI in the testing field.
At the 7th Tzu Chi - Academia Sinica Biomedical Conference, the report on the topic "Development and application of AI/Bioinformatics in genetic and gene testing in Vietnam" by Dr. Pham Dinh Minh (Director of R&D GENTIS - Director of GENTIS Genetic Counseling Center) attracted the attention of many attending experts. In the report, Dr. Pham Dinh Minh shared research and applications of AI and bioinformatics in genetic and gene testing, aiming to develop new tests and improve the quality of testing. Especially genetic testing in pre-implantation embryo screening, genetic testing in non-invasive prenatal screening as well as other genetic and gene testing.

In addition, the report also provides the conference, as well as the Asia-Pacific scientific community, with information on the development, research, and application of AI, as well as bioinformatics in Vietnam in general and the medical, genetic and genetic testing fields in Vietnam in particular.
GENTIS applies AI/bioinformatics software in genetic research and testing
“Developing AI applications/bioinformatics software is one of the key, main areas that GENTIS is oriented to develop in the coming time. GENTIS is looking forward to finding opportunities to cooperate with partners as well as developing further, researching and developing the latest directions of artificial intelligence applications as well as applying AI technology in genetic testing, genetic testing to bring new and improved tests, improving the quality of current tests”, Dr. Pham Dinh Minh shared more.
Currently, GENTIS has research projects and applications of artificial intelligence as well as bioinformatics in the field of genetic and genetic testing. Specifically, GENTIS is researching and developing AI tools, bioinformatics tools for embryo screening, improving the quality of pre-implantation genetic testing for embryos, and non-invasive prenatal screening NIPT.
Technological autonomy will help improve testing efficiency, optimize testing, improve testing quality, and use Vietnamese data. At the same time, it can help reduce testing costs, as well as bring different testing packages and testing features into GENTIS's current testing packages and testing services.
