Drug design software with high-speed screening calculation capabilities.

MolDesk Screening is a GUI program developed by Information Mathematical Bio Co., Ltd. to efficiently utilize the molecular simulation system myPresto for drug discovery support. MyPresto was developed as part of a commissioned project from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, NEDO, and AMED. In MolDesk Screening ver.1.1, virtual screening of 2 million compounds can be performed on a PC (8 parallel) in half a day to 2 days. During virtual screening, four different ranking methods—docking score order, MTS method, machine learning MTS method, and machine learning DSI method—can be used selectively depending on the situation. 【Features】 ■ Fast screening calculations executed in thread parallelism ■ Easy confirmation of docking poses for top compounds ■ High-precision pocket exploration using myPresto's Molsite ■ Ability to substitute amino acids in proteins with other amino acids (supports 40 types including chemically modified amino acids) ■ High-speed MD parallel calculations using MPI/GPU (NVIDIA CUDA) For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.

[Speaker] Jun Ishikawa, Professor at the Graduate School of Business Administration, Rikkyo University, and Vice President of Rikkyo University [Key Lecture Content] This lecture will provide a clear explanation of the most effective leadership in the VUCA era, focusing on shared leadership based on the latest research. Specifically, it will discuss how everyone can exhibit effective leadership to improve workplace and team outcomes, and how anyone can develop effective leadership skills through training. Additionally, it will explain what is necessary to foster shared leadership in workplaces and teams from both individual and organizational perspectives. To continue achieving results in the VUCA era, let’s challenge traditional views of leadership and explore new leadership concepts. [Lecture Items] 1. Characteristics of the VUCA Era 2. What is Shared Leadership? 3. Effects of Shared Leadership 4. Effectiveness of Personal Leadership Theories 5. How to Foster Shared Leadership in Workplaces and Teams 6. Q&A *This seminar will be held via Zoom meeting.*

[Speaker] PwC Advisory LLC Senior Manager Toshiya Nakamura [Key Lecture Content] The expected roles of smart meters (AMI) and DER (Distributed Energy Resources) in power systems are increasing both domestically and internationally. The DISTRIBUTECH conference, one of North America's largest exhibitions and conferences for transmission, distribution, and energy-related technologies, will be held in early February 2026 in San Diego, North America. Numerous power companies and manufacturers introduced the latest trends regarding the next-generation smart meter systems AMI 2.0 and the utilization of DER. In this lecture, I will share the latest trends in the utilization of smart meters and DER in the decentralization of power systems gained through participation in DISTRIBUTECH. [Lecture Items] 1. Overview of DISTRIBUTECH 2. Latest trends in AMI 2.0 3. Latest trends in DER utilization 4. Considerations for the utilization of smart meters and DER 5. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Naoto Ikeda, President and CEO of Granite Co., Ltd. / Automotive Economic Commentator [Key Lecture Content] In 2025, the extreme policies of various countries to "ban internal combustion engines by a certain year" were successively retracted, and the ambitious policy to convert all cars in the world to EVs has been shattered. However, the goal of "carbon neutrality by 2050" is still being upheld. As a result, the world has arrived at a "multi-pathway" approach. This framework allows everyone in the world, with different economic, infrastructural, and usage environments, to participate in CO2 reduction that suits their circumstances by intertwining various technologies. The most significant force expected within this framework is bioethanol. We invite you to participate in this opportunity to consider how the bioethanol technologies that the world is currently working on will change our future. [Lecture Items] 1. Reasons why EVs are not breaking through 2. Basic knowledge of carbon neutrality 3. What is bioethanol? 4. Japan's technology: "Toyota Yeast" 5. Specific strategies for dissemination: Drop-in 6. Challenges and solutions for bioethanol 7. Summary 8. Q&A / Business card exchange
