On behalf of the organizing committee, I am honored to welcome you to “The 11^th Biennial Meeting of the Society for Free Radical Research-Asia (SFRR-Asia) and the Chinese National Conference of Redox Biology and Medicine 2024” that will be held in Beijing, China from Oct. 21 to 23, 2024.                        

After two decades of ten past SFRR-Asia biennial meetings, we are marching into a new era to explore redox biology and medicine at precision, mechanistic and in vivo levels with innovative technology and multiple discipline collaborations. The SFRR-Asia 2024 with the theme “The new era of precision redox biology and medicine: from basic research to intervention of aging and diseases” will provide a great opportunity to address the updates on state-of-the-art research in these research fields. There will be a broad spectrum of topics concerning three aspects: Basic research on redox biology and medicine, Redox homeostasis in aging and diseases, Precision redox intervention and health management. For the first time, a special session entitled “Redox Future Perspective Forum” will be set aiming to draw the road map for future redox biology and medicine through open discussion with world-renowned leading scientists and experts. It’s also exciting that Young Investigator Award (YIA) and Outstanding Poster/Oral Presentation Awards will be selected.                        

I sincerely welcome you to join the meeting and hope every participant will benefit from it in exchanging ideas, stimulating collaboration, developing friendship, and experiencing Chinese culture. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support from the SFRR-International, SFRR-Asia, and many sponsors listed in the program book and the conference website (SFRR-Asia2024.com.cn). I would like to thank all previous SFRR-Asia Biennial meeting organizers, Presidents and Secretariats for their outstanding contribution, dedication, and service to our society. My appreciation is extended to the Biophysical Society of China, the conference company and all volunteers for their cooperation and dedication. Finally, I cordially thank all SFRR-China council members and young investigators for their long-term strong support and solidarity.                        

I hope that the 11th SFRR-Asia will be a remarkable start for the next two decades!
