His research has revolutionized the field of chemistry and materials science, offering transformative solutions for sustainable development through the creation of customizable materials with exceptional properties.

Professor Joel F. Habener, Professor Svetlana Mojsov, and Professor Jens Juul Holst have been jointly awarded the Tang Prize in Biopharmaceutical Science, for the discovery of GLP-1 (7-37) as an insulinotropic factor and the development of GLP-1 (7-37)-based anti-diabetic and anti-obesity drugs.

University Professor Emeritus Hsu Cho-yun is awarded the Tang Prize in Sinology for his exceptional contributions to the field of Sinology. Professor Hsu’s illustrious academic career has been distinguished by his holistic approach to the study of ancient Chinese history, seamlessly integrating an exploration of cultural and intellectual exchanges between China and the world. With his profound erudition and unwavering public spirit, Professor Hsu embodies the quintessential Sinologist, possessing both a deep historical sensibility and a broad, worldly vision.

The Tang Prize in Rule of Law is awarded to Professor Mary Robinson, for her “powerful advocacy for the most disadvantaged in different spheres, including gender equality, poverty alleviation, human rights, and climate justice.” In particular, the Selection Committee noted that her “passionate endeavors demonstrated an effective combination of legal acumen and practical solutions.” The Committee also noted that “from the national to the global stage, legal and political, she has innovatively transformed and expanded the various positions in which she has served to strengthen the rule of law.”

About the Tang Prize

Since the advent of globalization, mankind has been able to enjoy the convenience brought forth by the advancement of human civilization and science. Yet a multitude of challenges, such as climate change, the emergence of new infectious diseases, wealth gap, and moral degradation, have surfaced along the way. Against this backdrop, Dr. Samuel Yin established the Tang Prize in December 2012. It consists of four award categories, namely Sustainable Development, Biopharmaceutical Science, Sinology, and Rule of Law. Every other year, four independent and professional selection committees, comprising many internationally renowned experts, scholars, and Nobel winners, choose as Tang Prize laureates people who have influenced and made substantive contributions to the world, regardless of ethnicity, nationality or gender. A cash prize of NT$50 million (approx. US$1.7 million) is allocated to each category, with NT$10 million (approx. US$ 0.35 million) of it being a research grant intended to encourage professionals in every field to examine mankind’s most urgent needs in the 21st century, and become leading forces in the development of human society through their outstanding research outcomes and active civic engagement.

BOSTON and FREDERICK, Md., April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Precision for Medicine, a leading provider of next generation drug development research and services, and PathAI, a global leader in digital pathology, today announced a strategic collaboration to partner on developing novel AI-based technologies and to integrate PathAI’s advanced digital pathology and analysis capabilities across Precision for Medicine’s clinical trial and biospecimen operations.

The collaboration’s innovative tools will provide a level of integration and customization not available elsewhere.

This collaboration includes use of several PathAI technologies and establishes an agreement to offer novel tools and analytical services that address emerging needs in biomarker discovery, spatial biology, and tissue-based clinical research. Through this collaboration PathAI’s tools and services will help augment Precision for Medicine’s proprietary pipeline providing biopharma clients with access to imaging workflows offered through Precision for Medicine’s integrated laboratory and clinical trial services.

“Together, we’re deploying tools that add critical quality control steps to tumor biopsy workflows and apply machine-based learning and unsupervised algorithms early in the development cycle to help identify which biomarkers are most relevant for clinical efficacy,” said Darren Davis, PhD, Senior Vice President Global Digital Pathology, Genomics and Liquid Biopsy Solutions. “Precision for Medicine’s CLIA compliant laboratory enables precise patient stratification and accelerate decision-making in clinical trials, ultimately supporting success in areas of high unmet need.”

As part of the agreement, Precision for Medicine will deploy select tools from PathAI, including AISight®, a digital pathology image management system, and other AI-powered algorithms to enhance biospecimen and clinical trial services. These tools will enable the application of validated, algorithm-based quality control steps to biospecimen analysis, improving consistency and data reliability.

The collaboration will also support the use of PathAI’s leading AI capabilities leveraging best in class machine learning based models to enhance Precision for Medicine multi-modal datasets. The technology reduces large, complex biomarker panels to scalable, and actionable, biomarkers to help interpret complex tissue biology to complement translational research programs. Additionally, the companies will work together to analyze complex tissue biology empowering biopharma clients to understand and identify the right patients for the right therapies, faster.

“At PathAI, our mission is to harness the power of artificial intelligence to improve the accuracy, depth, and efficiency of pathology-driven insights,” said Andy Beck, MD, PhD, Co-founder and CEO of PathAI. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Precision for Medicine to help advance our mission and deliver differentiated value to our mutual customers.”

Precision’s collaboration with PathAI brings unique value to biopharma clients by combining these AI tools with proprietary wet lab infrastructure, centralized clinical trial operations, and scientific oversight. The innovative tools generated through this collaboration will only be available through Precision for Medicine’s services, providing a level of integration and customization not offered elsewhere in the industry.

“This collaboration enhances how we’re using our biospecimen business by enabling deeper, more informative analyses of the tissue samples we provide to our clients,” said Cullen Taylor, MD, Medical Director at Precision for Medicine. “We’re adding an entirely new layer of cellular-level insight on top of already well-annotated sequenced samples, going far beyond what traditional pathology assessments can offer. It’s a meaningful step forward in how we support biomarker discovery, enhancing datasets for diagnostic validation and therapeutic development.”
