Prof. Hirohide Saito, Kyoto Univ. and The Univ. of Tokyo, Japan  Paper Title RNA and RNP Synthetic Biology to Program Cells Short Biography Hirohide Saito is Professor at Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (IQB), The University of Tokyo, and Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA), Kyoto University. After completing predoctoral training at the University of Tokyo and SUNY Buffalo, he received his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 2002. He is interested in the field of mammalian synthetic biology and RNA/RNP design biology. Using newly developed RNA and RNP technologies, he aims to understand design principle of living systems and contribute to future medicine. | |
Prof. Hiromitsu Toyoda, Osaka Metropolitan University, Japan  Paper Title Application of medical plasma technology in skeletal regeneration Short Biography Hiromitsu Toyota is an Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Medical Education at Osaka Metropolitan University (formerly Osaka City University). He graduated in 1999 and completed his Ph.D. in 2005. His clinical research focuses on spinal surgery, particularly minimally invasive procedures, and osteoporotic vertebral fractures. In basic research, he specializes in bone metabolism and regeneration, working on the development of new artificial bone materials and applying medical plasma technology in orthopedics. | |

Prof. Kotaro, Kimura, Nagoya City Univerisity, Japan  Paper Title Seeing and manipulating the mind of a worm Short Biography Dr. Kimura received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. from The University of Tokyo (Japan) in 1990, 1992 and 1995, respectively. In the Ph.D. course, he studied with Prof. Yasuhisa Fukui. He then worked at Harvard Medical School, Nagoya University, the National Institute of Genetics, Osaka University, and Nagoya City University, where he is currently a Professor in the Graduate School of Science. His laboratory investigates basic principles of C. elegans' brain functions, such as memory, emotion, and decision-making, by using genetics, opto-physiology, robotic microscope systems, and machine learning. | |
Prof. Hideaki Yamamoto, Tohoku University, Japan  Paper Title Cell Engineering Technologies to Regulate Neuronal Networks Short Biography Hideaki Yamamoto received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Waseda University in 2009. After working as a JSPS Research Fellow at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and as an Assistant Professor at Waseda University, he joined Tohoku University in 2014 as an Assistant Professor for the Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences. Since 2020, he is an Associate Professor at the Research Institute of Electrical Communication, Tohoku University. His research focuses on the development of cell engineering technologies for biological neural networks and their applications in bottom-up neuroscience. | |
