Call for Participants [Conference of Very Different Fields] Food Regulatory Science - The Challenge of Science of Food and Fasting / March 6, 2021, 11:00am-@Ota-ku, Tokyo, Japan

A panel discussion, "Food Regulatory Science - The Challenge of Science of Food and Fasting" (session partner: Kyowa Hakko Bio Co., Ltd.), will be held within the 10th Annual Conference of the Society for Transdisciplinary Research, hosted by RIVANES (March 5-6, 2021 (Friday and Saturday)).

There are many different ways in which people interact with food, depending on country, region, culture, and lifestyle. Some people believe in controlling their health by eating, while others believe in regulating themselves through fasting. There are also dietary restrictions closely related to religion, such as Ramadan. In this session, we will discuss how food contributes to our health in the context of the latest science, especially in terms of immunity, gut bacteria, and high quality food resources, with the concept of understanding humans through food. We will also discuss what research needs to be done to accumulate more knowledge on how to control the timing and quantity of the food we do and do not consume in the first place.

We will have a program of discussions among researchers, start-ups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session.
We are now accepting applications for audience participation. Please visit the conference website (see below).

*The event will be held after taking measures against new coronavirus infection on the day of the event.For more information
