ＴＬＯ京都 Company Overview

We will hold a "University-Origin Seed Matching Seminar" to introduce cutting-edge technologies developed at universities and public research institutions. The theme for this seminar is "New Business Opportunities Arising from New Materials - The Potential of Polysaccharide-Derived High-Toughness Hydrogels." Polysaccharide-derived hydrogels, which possess high toughness and flexibility, are expected to be a new material for electrolyte materials in next-generation batteries. There are also expectations for applications in a wide range of fields such as medical and healthcare, and soft materials. In this seminar, the inventors themselves will introduce the characteristics of the technology, as well as potential applications and possibilities for joint research and commercialization. Program: 13:35-13:55: "Natural Polysaccharide Hydrogels Exhibiting High Toughness, High Heat Resistance, and High Ion Conductivity" Associate Professor Junichi Horinaka, Department of Chemical Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Kyoto University We will introduce polysaccharide-derived hydrogels that combine high toughness and flexibility. Focusing on their characteristics as expected electrolyte materials for next-generation batteries, we will discuss the potential for applications in a wide range of fields such as medical and healthcare, soft materials, and prospects for joint research and commercialization. 13:55-14:10: Introduction of Application Developments and Q&A

"University-Originated Seed Matching Seminar" introduces technologies that can serve as a catalyst for new businesses and joint research for companies. The 26th seminar will be held with the theme "Current Status of Applied Technologies Related to iPS Cells." Researchers will present cutting-edge technologies, including studies on clinical applications of iPS cells, disease models, and cell delivery systems. This is a valuable opportunity for companies considering new businesses or technological collaborations to engage with the latest research findings. Individual meetings regarding technologies of interest are also available. We encourage your participation! 【Program】 13:30-14:00: "Development of Muscle Disease Treatments Utilizing iPS Cells and Associated Technologies" Associate Professor Hidetoshi Sakurai, Kyoto University iPS Cell Research Institute, Clinical Application Research Division 14:00-14:30: "Development and Application of Liver and Intestinal Chips Induced from Human iPS Cells" Professor Kazuo Takayama, Tokyo University of Science, Institute of Advanced Research, Department of Human Mimetic Systems 14:30-15:00: "How to Deliver Genome Editing Enzymes?
