The 145th Annual Meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan (Fukuoka)

Organizer: Yukio Kato (Laboratory of Molecular Pharmacotherapeutics, Faculty of Pharmacy, Kanazawa University ), Kogure Kentaro (Grad. Sch. Biomed. Sci., Tokushima Univ.)

The Nagai Memorial Pharmaceutical Research Encouragement and Support Program was established by the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan with the aim of producing diverse pharmacists and pharmaceutical researchers with doctoral degrees for the development of pharmaceutical sciences, and has been in operation since 2015, based on research encouragement support for graduate students affiliated with the Society.
In this symposium, we will first explain the purpose and significance of this program, as well as its history and philosophy, followed by presentations by the four recipients of the Nagai Memorial Young Pharmaceutical Researchers Award, which was launched in FY2022. The recipients of this award were selected from among the members of the society who received the Nagai Memorial Young Pharmaceutical Researchers Award and obtained their degrees and are currently active as researchers in the pharmaceutical sciences. What kind of research have you conducted or are conducting?", 'What kind of researcher you are aiming to become', 'What kind of future you should aim for in pharmacy', 'A message to pharmacy students applying for the Nagai Memorial Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Encouragement and Support Program', etc. We hope that these messages will form part of the recognition of the achievements of the 'Nagai Memorial Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Encouragement and Support Program'. We would like to make this a part of the "Nagai Memorial Pharmacy Research Encouragement and Support Project". Finally, Dr. Itsuko Ishii, Chairperson of the Nagai Memorial Association of Pharmaceutical Sciences, is scheduled to give a summary of the future prospects for this project.
