ＴＬＯ京都 Company Overview

The 32nd event will focus on the theme "Nobel Prize Commemoration Part 2! Development of Innovative Material Research Born from the Fusion Research Base of Biology and Chemistry," featuring research achievements from Professor Susumu Kitagawa, a Nobel Prize laureate, at the Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS). iCeMS is an internationally recognized research center selected as a World Premier International Research Center (WPI), where cutting-edge research is conducted through the fusion of chemistry and cell biology. As a result of these efforts, technologies with potential industrial applications are being developed. We invite those interested in the latest university technologies and industry-academia collaboration, as well as companies looking to enhance their technological capabilities or launch new businesses, to participate. After the seminar, we will also be open to consultations for individual meetings regarding any technologies of interest.

"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?
