The 99th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Pharmacological Society

Chair:Yasushi Yabuki(Institute of Molecular Embryology and Genetics, Kumamoto University), Kiyoshi Ishikawa(Tanabe Pharma Corporation)

In recent years, rapid advances in bioinformatics and artificial intelligence (AI) have led to increasingly diverse research methodologies and the gradual blurring of boundaries between academic disciplines. In this symposium, we invite next-generation researchers who are actively engaged in both the pharmaceutical industry and academia to present not only their current research but also their perspectives on the future directions of their reserch. We also ask each speaker to share their views on how the field of pharmacology should evolve in the years ahead. Following the individual presentations, we will hold a panel discussion involving participants from the floor including students, early-career researchers, mid-career, and senior scientists to facilitate an open and lively discussion on the future vision of pharmacological research.
