Healthcare continues to evolve, with advances in medical technology constantly driven by both academic exploration and the demands of society. For the past ten years, experts from industry, academia, and government have discussed the future of cell and gene therapy in Japan at this symposium from the regulatory, technology, and business perspectives. Some of these visions of the future that we have discussed have already become reality and are now evolving into the future’s next phase.
This year’s symposium will continue to provide a “forum for dialogue” to envision, through our discussions, future expansions in cell and gene therapy products and to share current issues and guidelines for the future. We are planning these five sessions to analyze the current status of cell therapy and gene therapy from various perspectives and create a vision for their future with you. By sharing our latest results and knowledge through these sessions, we hope to envision “shaping our future” together with you.
- Establishing a mature ecosystem for new modalities : Lessons learned from precedent success cases
- Ten years of history and the future : Let‘s ask the Past and Present Chairpersons (Special Session)
- Human resources who will shape the future of regenerative medicine : Co-creation by expertise and bird’s eye view
- Stable manufacturing of cellular therapeutic products : Consistent manufacturing processes throughout the product life cycle
- Realizing the true value of the conditional and time-limited approval system
In addition, key opinion leaders responsible for cell therapy and gene therapy research and development programs from academia and industry, as well as government / regulatory officials, will be invited to deliver the latest information and topics through keynote lectures and other sessions.
This symposium will be held in a hybrid format. To provide a more focused location for personal dialogue, we will prepare a venue for face-to-face participation at the Nihonbashi Life Science Building along with a networking event for the free exchange of opinions. To make this symposium available to as many people as possible, participants will be able to choose to participate in person or online. Lecture materials and videos will be distributed to attendees after the symposium.
We look forward to your participation.
* Please note that there may be restrictions on recording and sharing materials based on the content and nature of each session or lecture.
