It found that two species, Bacteroides vulgatus and Bacteroides dorei, were significantly decreased in the patients with Coronary Artery Disease. When two species were orally administered to the mice with arteriosclerosis, it significantly suppressed the formation of arteriosclerosis and decreased the activity of LPS (liposaccharides), the inflammatory substances. In addition, the low ratio of two species was found in the feces of the patient with high LPS activity and vice versa. The results indicated the relationship with anti-inflammatory activity. Thus, we develop two species as drug discovery seeds for the suppression of arteriosclerosis 2. It becomes well-known that intestinal inflammation relates various diseases. HYA, the gut microbial lipid metabolites, is expected to be a new therapeutic by suppression of inflammatory.

Pre-Registration required Simultaneous interpretation The growing importance of PPP and precompetitive research collaboration in drug discovery In the pharmaceutical industry open innovation focusing on competitive research areas is the mainstream. However, PPP and precompetitive research collaboration where multiple pharmaceutical companies team up together to address mutual challenges in drug discovery have become more important than before. One of the reasons behind this trend is that the start point of drug discovery has changed from a hypothetical drug target to a disease-relevant drug target found by better understanding of disease mechanisms. PPP and precompetitive research collaboration are effective and practical mechanisms by which researchers can advance their research using valuable research materials including patient sample and their medical information. There is no doubt that they will be even more important in the near future when precision medicine and personalized medicine will be widely accepted by the society.

Constructing ecosystem for industrial utilization of iPS cells

iPS cells are expected to be powerful tools for drug discovery as well as for regenerative medicine. In Europe and the US, iPS cell banks are being developed for drug discovery, and their use in drug discovery is becoming active. On the other hand, although Japan is ahead of regenerative medicine, it is urgently important for pharmaceutical companies to set up an "Ecosystem for industrial utilization of iPS cells" that accelerates drug discovery.
Towards realization, investigation and construction of frameworks that can be provided by disease-specific iPS cells and iPS cells from healthy persons, construction of a system capable of stably supplying high-quality cells, analysis of the current state over the world, and cooperation systems with other cell banks are required. Therefore, members of industry, government, and academia are discussing issues and solutions at COCN (Council on Competitiveness-Nippon).
This time, we invited lecturers from academia and industry to be active in the front line. They are going to give lectures on understanding of the current situation and expectations for the future toward constructing an industrial use ecosystem of iPS cells for drug discovery.

Introduction on mechanization/automation of cultured epidermis for vitiligo treatment in China

Vitiligo is a disease in which the color of the skin is white, and the onset in prominent places such as the face and neck significantly lowers the patient' s Quality of Life.
It is estimated to have about 15million patients in China, one of the intractable diseases that is caused by 0.1% to 1% of the population.
The Department of Dermatology, Huashan Hospital, and they have already achieved a lot of vitiligo treatment by autologous skin grafting using vacuum suction.
However, the vacuum suction method is limited to vitiligo in a small area, and a large area of treatment was required.
Therefore, we started joint research on vitiligo treatment of a large area using autologous cultured epidermis. To date, 850cases of patients have been treated, indicating that they are effective in more than 90% of patients.
On the other hand, the difference by the technical level of the culture engineers, the difference in growth rate due to the individual and age difference between patients, has become a big challenge to the management of the culture production.
We hope to stabilize the production and standard the quality of autologous culture epidermis by introducing an automated culture system of RORZE Lifesciences.

Microbiology meets digital biology - an effort to promote Bioeconomy -

Microbes are in the central position of production in the field of bioindustry. Before now, it has been said less than 1% of microbes on the earth was culturable.However, recent innovation in culturing technology has made it possible to experimentally handle a large variety of microbes that was used to be impossible.On the other hand, the development of analytical technologies such as genome analysis has been transforming the bioindustry into data-driven industry in which a large amount of data can be easily obtained and utilized.Integrating and organizing effort of big data by DBCLS and NBDC is now coming to fruition in the context of connection and utilization of rushing big data by taking into consideration the type and content of individual data.Japan's advantage is abounding microbes it possesses and fermentation technology so that utilizing these microbes and their data is the important touchstone to materialize bioeconomy in Japan.
In this seminar, we will introduce our attempt on development of biological resources and data infrastructure as well as the latest research trend. We will also present the effort of NITE on supporting the development of bioindustry through utilization of our biological resources and data infrastructure.

Digital technology in healthcare is changing the platforms of disease diagnosis, prevention and therapy. In the diagnosis of neuropsychiatric disorders including dementia such as Alzheimer's disease, imaging such as MRI and artificial intelligence (AI) is expected for clinical trials and early diagnosis. In addition, digital therapeutics (DTx), which utilizes digital technology for therapeutic intervention, has also been tried in areas of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and psychoneurological diseases. DTx using smartphone applications and IoT devices can promote behavior changes in patients and open the way to prevention. However, the establishment of an ecosystem will be a challenge to involve a wide range of stakeholders, including the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory authorities, healthcare professionals, and patients, as well as companies participating in digital technology innovation. In this seminar, the utilization of digital technology in healthcare and the scalability in diagnosis and therapy will be presented.

Towards a Circular Economy for Plastics - Challenges to Marine Plastic Pollution

Accumulation of plastic waste in the environment, which is represented by marine plastic pollution, is a global big problem. To solve this problem, international and domestic alliances, Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) and Clean Ocean Material Alliance (CLOMA), respectively, were recently established in succession. In this seminar, lecturers will speak about sustainable utilization of plastics, development of biodegradable plastics to reduce plastic waste, design and development of environmentally friendly packing containers, and action of the industrial world and Japan's policy regarding the three Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle).

Challenges in new fields of the pharmaceutical industry and the medical device industry
-New business potential as companies from other industries enter the field
A bolder and more radical approach is becoming the new business model in the pharmaceutical and medical device industry, as pharma and medical device companies are expanding their businesses into preventive and general healthcare services, while non-medical companies are increasingly more interested in drug and medical device development.
This symposium will introduce these nonconventional movements with real-life examples, followed by a panel discussion to explore the possible developments and challenges we might face.

Success of bio-venture and its factors

Many bio-ventures have been established and gone out, however there exist a quite few big-successful bio-ventures over the world. The definition of successful ventures may be M&A, or to become large pharmaceutical companies as EXIT, but the success rate is roughly estimated about 0.5 to 1.0% depending on US-BIO data. Compared with the recent success rate of 5.0% of each project at major pharmaceutical companies in Japan, USA and Europe, the efficiency is considerably low.
Therefore, in order to increase the success rate of the bio-ventures as much as possible, learning success cases and using failure cases as lessons, well-known experts from INCJ, Daiichi-Sankyo and FCR Partners identify the main issues and analyze success / failure factors from various angles, then we would like to find out some common terms and special terms out of them for the audience.
We hope that this lecture will contribute to the development of bio-ventures by providing some hints that can increase the success rate of bio-ventures in Japan.
