2SKA Venture out of basic bioscience!

Wed. Nov 15, 2023 8:50 AM - 11:20 AM Room K (Conference Room 131+132 (Bldg. 1, 3F))

Organizers: Nagai Takeharu (Osaka Univ.)、Watanabe Tomonobu (Hiroshima Univ.)

The social implementation of academic research is expected to not only promote positive-feedback between basic science and industry/society but also provide new career paths for young researchers. Therefore, venture entrepreneurship from basic bioscience including biophysics can be a savior of Japan with a growing concern about the decline of scientific capabilities. In this symposium we would like to discuss the social implementation of basic bioscience from various viewpoints so as to encourage entrepreneurship among biophysicists, especially graduate students and young researchers. We hope audiences will see that basic science also has ample potential to venture out into a successful business/career.
