Sun. Mar 29, 2026 4:10 AM - 6:10 AM UTC
Room 05 (F401, Bldg. 4, Area 2 [4F])
Organizer: Hirofumi Jono (Dept. Pharm. Sci., Kumamoto Univ. Hosp.), Masamitsu Maekawa (Dept. Pharm. Sci., Tohoku Univ. Hosp.)
Co-sponsored by:
The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan,
Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry
Clinical chemistry is a field of study that provides medical care with clinical chemistry testing based on analytical techniques, while aiming to elucidate disease causes and pathologies and contribute to treatment and prevention. In pharmacy as well, the latest knowledge and concepts of clinical chemistry, grounded in clinical testing, are becoming indispensable for implementing appropriate drug therapy in clinical settings. This includes therapeutic drug monitoring utilizing drug blood concentrations and clinical test values, personalized medicine based on genomic information, and biomarker development through omics analysis leveraging mass spectrometry technology.
This symposium, co-hosted with the Japan Society of Clinical Chemistry to highlight clinical chemistry's contributions to healthcare, will present the latest research findings in diverse molecular analysis technologies from clinical chemistry, pharmacy, and other academic fields. Titled "Creating New Value through Innovation: Pharmacy × Clinical Chemistry × [+α]," we will present the latest insights into developing biomarkers useful for early diagnosis, stratification, and detecting side effects. We aim to discuss the potential for the convergent development of clinical chemistry and pharmacy, which is indispensable for effective diagnosis and drug therapy practice.
