The living body properly processes information inside and outside the body by means of an evolutionarily acquired complex and ingenious system. Since this system is the key to organ formation / regeneration and homeostasis, its abnormalities and disruption of related molecular devices cause congenital anomalies and serious illnesses.
Cells are the building blocks of our body and each cell type has a specific role. Cellular technology has enabled a reducing approach that seeks to understand the whole thing by breaking down complex components into parts and examining them. As a result, it has become clear that these small cells have a surprisingly complex reaction mechanism to the outside world and intracellular processing ability. Furthermore, by integrating these functions at the tissue / organ level, advanced functions that could not be achieved on a cell-by-cell basis are achieved. In future cell biology, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between these findings and diseases and consider them from a broader perspective.
In this session, we will discuss hot topics that have emerged from cell research such as aging, canceration, and disease models (respiratory disease, genetic deafness), from the molecular mechanism necessary for cell rejuvenation and gene expression regulation by iron metabolism. .. In addition, I would like to explore the potential of cells from a macro / micro perspective and discuss new aspects and possibilities of utilization. We hope that the session will break away from the classical interpretation and serve as a bridge to drug discovery research and clinical application through a new interpretation of the pathology.

What is necessary to obtain new knowledge and ideas in research?
There is no correct answer to this question, and the answer is different for each person, but it is doubtful that it is also an important factor to take in the technology and knowledge used in different fields from a broad perspective and apply it to your own field. There is no. In fact, there are cases where researchers from different fields come together to create new ideas that they had never thought of before, leading to joint research.
Therefore, the purpose of this session is to invite researchers from different fields as much as possible so that the audience can experience research in various fields within one session. In addition, researchers who have walked different career paths share and discuss what they thought and how they acted before and after studying abroad, so that those who are currently studying abroad can choose a career after studying abroad. I hope it helps.

According to a 2013 survey conducted by the United Japanese researchers Around the world (UJA), many researchers are interested in studying abroad, but feel anxiety and risk about studying abroad. It is clear that there is. We believe that the true nature of this anxiety and risk is the lack of information about studying abroad. In this session, those who have studied abroad and those who are currently studying abroad will be invited to take the stage, introduce what they have been worried about and what they have suffered, and send a hot ale to young researchers aiming to study abroad. We look forward to the participation of not only researchers who are thinking of studying abroad, but also all those who want to deepen discussions with us about research, study abroad, and promotion of research capabilities in Japan. Non-researchers and high school students are also welcome!

It is the one in about two people in Japan has some immunological allergic diseases, a countermeasure is urgently needed. Under such circumstances, based on the Basic Law for Allergic Disease Control enacted in 2014, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare issued the "Immune Allergic Disease Research 10-Year Strategy" in 2019, and in line with this content, we aimed to overcome the disease. We are promoting research. This research strategy is based on the three strategies of "elucidation of the true nature, construction of society, and disease characteristics", and is aimed at preventing the onset, aggravation, and eradication of deaths that can prevent immune allergic diseases. Shows the importance of . Among them, as one of the elucidation of the true nature, the role of "skin" is extremely large, and the importance of studying the relationship between host factors and external factors was clarified in the research strategy. Therefore, in this session, we will introduce topics related to this immune allergy and skin, focusing on "what we can do now", "what we can do now", and "easy to see", and it will be time to discuss the potential of this area. I hope that it will be.

Background of the session: The International Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Promotion Organization provides annual research funding of approximately 6 billion yen for the purpose of advanced research that contributes to humankind. The number of Nobel Prize winners from the subsidized “world-changing researchers” is almost one per year, which is an amazing pace. The challenging research promoted by HFSP consists of three components: intercontinental, interdisciplinary, and innovative, which are important for Japanese Nobel laureates as well. It is also an element. Unfortunately, the HFSP was created by Japan, but in reality, the number of Japanese applicants and adopters of the HFSP is decreasing.
In this session, let's think from an interdisciplinary and innovative perspectives, centered on "advanced research that contributes to humankind." We asked seven people who specialize in engineering, medicine, biology, organic chemistry, soil mathematics, urban informatics, and business who are active in a wide range of fields to give a lightning talk. It takes 80 minutes to exchange opinions (panel discussion format) with everyone at the venue about innovation in specialized fields.
