A story about the trump card of personal health care from Japan
A panel discussion, "If we can understand autophagy, can we understand health indicators? -Story about the trump card of personal health care from Japan-" (session partner: Nihon Unisys, Ltd.) will be held.
There is one area of research in which Japan clearly leads the world. It is autophagy, a topic for which Professor Yoshinori Osumi was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This mechanism by which cells break down and recycle proteins is thought to prevent our cells from aging. It is hoped that a deeper understanding of autophagy will lead to the creation of new indicators, supplements, and drugs to extend healthy lifespan in a way that suits each individual. In this session, we will welcome Mr. Ishido, President of AutoPhagyGo (APGO), a biotech venture company that promotes autophagy research from all aspects, Mr. Matsukawa, Executive Officer of UHA Ajikakugasugar, who developed products with APGO, and Mr. Haneda, Fellow of Nihon Unisys, who has been working on utilizing healthcare data in recent years. Fellow of Nihon Unisys, which has been working on the use of healthcare data in recent years, will join the panel to discuss what kind of health indicators we can construct in the future by utilizing autophagy-related data. The moderator will be Inoue, CTO of Liverness.
We have prepared a program of discussions among researchers, startups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session. We are now accepting applications for the audience, so please join us.The information is available on the convention website (see below).
