Future technologies to deepen gut microbiome research 

With the progress of genome science, the study of gut microorganisms has shifted from isolation and identification to a bird's eye view of the microbiota and microbiome. In the future, the knowledge of intestinal microbiota and diseases and health will be further deepened through genomic analysis at the single-cell level, metabolomics analysis of a vast number of molecules, and information science such as cohort studies to reveal the relationship between health conditions and diseases and intestinal microbiota. In this seminar, we would like to introduce examples of these research together with research that develop functional molecules and functional microorganisms as concrete tools with an example of probiotics, HYA, development and discuss future trends in gut microbial research.

Fireside Chat: Kyoto University's Collaboration with a Foreign Pharmaceutical Company 

Industry-academia collaboration is essential for universities to create innovations and implement them in society. However, in a recent internal survey at Kyoto University, a certain number of researchers answered that they were interested in industry-university collaboration but had no experience in it. The most common reason for this was anxiety for communication with companies.

One of the factors that make such communication difficult is due to unsureness how to handle "secrets" between academia and pharma. Academia side is concerned about the risk of companies exploiting important information unconsciously during communication, and companies are also concerned about the risk of internal information "contamination" by obtaining information from universities, and also the risk of leaking confidential information by universities provided by companies. This difficulty in communication becomes a major issue in industry-academia collaboration.

Kyoto University has comprehensive collaborative relationships with three foreign pharmaceutical companies, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, and J&J Innovation, respectively. Although the communication with foreign companies is more difficult for Japanese academia due to the language difference, we all device and carry out various alliance activities. In this seminar, we will discuss these issues and propose solutions with panelists from three companies deeply involved in global alliance activities.

We are in Showa Denko Materials Group operates a global regenerative medicine business at five facilities - one in Japan (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture),
three in the United States (one in Mountain View, California and two in Allendale, New Jersey), and one in Europe (Ottobrunn, Bavaria, Germany).
In September 2020, the Group's regenerative medicine companies in the United States and Germany changed their names to Minaris Regenerative Medicine, LLC and Minaris Regenerative Medicine GmbH, respectively.
With Yokohama Site taken over by MRJ, all the manufacturing facilities in Japan,
the United States, and Europe will be unified under the name "Minaris Regenerative Medicine"

building a biotech-ecosystem, open to the world 

Japan has been a global source of innovation across many industries. In biotech, however, market growth has been staggered in the last decade, mainly due to the lack of platforms where strong start-ups are emerging and supported by risk money.
The size of the VC market in Japan is $1.23 billion in 2020, only 2.5% of the US market. The key challenge identified is that few ex-Japan VCs invest in Japanese start-ups, and the market is closed in Japan, while the global investment is centered in the US. Many startups are emerging from academia, industry, and through their collaborations in successful ecosystem. They are raising enormous funds, accelerating research & development and achieving exits through M&A or IPOs, supported by incubators and accelerators. On top, the government supports policies and regulations to promote innovation there. Talents, technologies, and funds are accumulated into such ecosystem.
In this session with venture capitalists, a biotech entrepreneur, and a government official, we would like to discuss what kind of problems we should tackle and how we can solve them to build a biotech ecosystem in Japan and invigorate the industry.

Creation and commercialization of measurements x AI platform for the science of health 

In the wake of the global spread of the new coronavirus disease, new sensing technologies based on digital technology have been attracting attention. With the advancement of technology, sensors and testing equipment have become smaller, lighter, and more versatile, making it easier for anyone to acquire a variety of data.
In this session, we will focus on products and services that are strategic in terms of "cultivating and expanding ultra-small-signal measurement technology" and "utilizing the acquired data," which are the keys to the future development of the healthcare industry.

Cultivating a Collaborative Space for Health Innovation - Real Voices from the Life Science Ecosystem Players 

In the three and a half years since its opening, Shonan Health Innovation Park, which started with 19 companies as tenants, has grown into an open innovation hub where more than 120 companies and academia have gathered. One of the characteristics of the ecosystem is the participation of a wide variety of players, including major pharmaceutical companies, drug discovery ventures, equipment manufacturers, academia, local government, and VCs, as well as the presence of more than 1,000 life science researchers.
In this seminar, we will introduce Shonan iPark's efforts to lead and support the exploration, co-creation, and drive, as well as the new businesses and initiatives that have been created as a result of these efforts. In addition, the key players of Shonan iPark will gather to share their real voices at the forefront of the field, including what they are doing and what they feel are the challenges to create greater health innovation in the future.

Functional Food supports healthy and longevity society ~Important for Frailty Prevention to happy aged-life~ 

We are running into Super-aging society Japan.We convince that we need a social foundation that will realize a mature and mellow process that is both physically and mentally sound throughout our lives.
Food plays a great role in the social infrastructure, and it is sure that "food" is good for health and longevity so that it does not become a state of flail, which is regarded as a phenomenon of a eakening entrance rather than maturity.
We will disseminate information and opinions on the expected role of "healthy food", including the direction in which the health functional food system should be developed, in order to build an environment that can appeal globally.

Role of exercise in healthy aging ~Unraveling the superactive senior~ 

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a tendency to refrain from going out for the purpose of infection prevention. In Japan, a state of emergency was declared four times, and restraint from activities involving going out was recommended, especially in metropolitan areas. Even in the absence of emergency declarations, it is clear that physical activity among older people is declining, and this is reflected in an increase in frailty. Such self-restraint in activity leads to a drastic reduction in not only physical activity but also social interaction, resulting in a decline in physical and cognitive functions. There is a concern that the number of disabled older people will increase due to the progression of sarcopenia and frailty, as well as the deterioration of cognitive function. In this situation as well as the aging of the population, it is necessary to balance infection prevention and activity, exercise outdoors and at home, and nutritional intake that maintains an appropriate balance. To further extend healthy life expectancy, it is necessary to establish appropriate exercise habits, but it is also important to build scientific evidence. We hope that national awareness of exercise will lead to the extension of healthy life expectancy.

How can we make useful compounds in "decarbonization society" through renewable energy and/or carbon dioxide utilization? 

Even in a "decarbonization society", manufacturing based on carbon skeleton should continue to be important. This indicates the need to further advance manufacturing based on renewable energy or/or carbon dioxide. Therefore, in this program, we would like to introduce the cutting edge of such research field and view the future manufacturing in a "decarbonization society".
