The 5th Great Wall Translational Andro-Urology Forum (GTAUF2012) in conjunction with the launch of the new journal Translational Andrology and Urology (TAU) was successfully held in Hainan International Conference and Exhibition Center, Haikou, China on March 8-12, 2012 (Figure 1). The forum was co-chaired by Prof. Ying-Lu Guo (Figure 2) and Prof. Tom F. Lue (Figure 3), both lifetime presidents of GTAUF and Editor-in-Chief of TAU and professor Zhi-Ming Bai (Figure 4), the president of local organizing committee of GTAUF2012.
Embracing the concept of the translational medicine, over 800 attendees from domestic and abroad gathered together to discuss how the scientific results of andrology and urology research can be translated into the clinical practice for better care of human health (Figure 5). More than 230 research papers were presented this forum and more than 100 lectures were delivered by 40 experts from America, Europe, Asia and 50 experts from China, lectures delivered by some of the editorial board members of TAU such as Dr Arthur Burnett (Figure 6) from The Johns Hopkins, Dr Run Wang (Figure 7) from University of Texas Medical School, Dr Gerald Brock (Figure 8) from University of Western Ontario are listed in table 1. In addition to Plenary Sessions, China-Japan-Korea (G3) Andrology-Urologist Symposium and the 3rd Cross-Strait Andro-Urologist Symposium were specially organized to strengthen regional scientific exchanges and cooperation. Live surgery & Video presentation at Haikou City Hospital on March 11th was informative, vivid and dynamic and were warmly welcomed by attendees.
The three-day meeting was completed in the warm applause of scientists and clinical doctors. For more information, please visit https://www.giaf2012.org/. Proceeding is available at https://www.amepc.org/tau/issue/view/12.
We look forward to a more exciting and successful forum, the 6th Great Wall Translational Andro-Urology Forum(GTAUF2014) and Asia Pacific Society for the Study of Aging Male (APSSAM2014), which will be held in autumn of 2014 in Beijing.
