The 7th COINS Symposium will be held on December 4th by Innovation Center of NanoMedicine with Kawasaki Institute of Industrial Promotion, which aims to realize "in-body hospitals" by 2045 in COINS as a part of COI (Center of Innovation) program organized by JST/MEXT. This symposium consists of three parts and, in the Part 1, Mr. Hiroki Takahashi (Group Manager, Strategy Planning Dept., Nikkei BP Intelligence Group, Nikkei Business Publications, Inc.) and Mr. Teppei Sakano (CEO, Allm Inc.) were invited as the keynote speakers to discuss the future society based on the latest trends and medicines.
In the Part 2, Dr. Kazunori Kataoka, Research Leader of COINS, will give an overview of COINS research and development, and then, four scientists from COINS will talk about their recent research results that lead to the latest information and therapeutic options in each disease area of [infectious diseases] [brain diseases] [diabetes] [cancers].
In the Part 3, entitled "Let's Think of Future Medicines Together," there will be discussion of future healthcare anticipated by a medical doctor, a cancer survivor, and a researcher. We are also planning to have audiences' participation during the sessions using the online voting system. While listening to the voices of the general public, we would like to think about desirable future medicines and use it as a reference for future research.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
