Thu. Dec 4, 2025 5:20 AM - 7:20 AM UTC
Room 9(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 4F, 411+412)
Organizer: Yoshiki Ikeda (Kyoto University), Kirara Inoue (Osaka Metropolitan University)
Nowadays, as academia has become more prevalent in drug discovery, many seeds that are new to academia have been generated. However, it is also true that only about 1% of these seeds result in joint research. This gap is largely due to the awareness of both parties regarding drug discovery. In order to bridge this gap, attention is being paid to needs, i.e. the voice of patients. It will be difficult to overcome difficult diseases unless we build a system that is sensitive to needs, respects each other, and works together to advance development. This conference will deepen the discussion by focusing on pharmaceutical and technological development that focuses on medical needs, and explore the path to drug discovery that can be created jointly between academia and companies.
