Congratulations to Dr Qiang Ma for receiving the MICCAI 2025 Young Scientist Award. This is one of the five Young Scientist Awards selected by the Awards Committee among over one thousand accepted papers at MICCAI 2025. Qiang’s work explores a novel generative model for anatomical shape augmentation and generation using flow matching [1].

Apart from Qiang’s paper, two other papers have been accepted and presented at MICCAI 2025 by Dr Mengyun Qiao and Weitong Zhang, namely on 4D mesh reconstruction [2] and agentic AI for automated imaging phenotype analysis [3]. In this year’s MICCAI, there are 3,677 full submissions in total and 1,027 accepted papers, with an acceptance rate of 28%.
