The 7th COINS Symposium will be held on December 4th by Innovation Center of NanoMedicine with Kawasaki Institute of Industrial Promotion, which aims to realize “in-body hospitals” by 2045 in COINS as a part of COI (Center of Innovation) program organized by JST/MEXT. This symposium consists of three parts and, in the Part 1, Mr. Hiroki Takahashi (Group Manager, Strategy Planning Dept., Nikkei BP Intelligence Group, Nikkei Business Publications, Inc.) and Mr. Teppei Sakano (CEO, Allm Inc.) were invited as the keynote speakers to discuss the future society based on the latest trends and medicines.
In the Part 2, Dr. Kazunori Kataoka, Research Leader of COINS, will give an overview of COINS research and development, and then, four scientists from COINS will talk about their recent research results that lead to the latest information and therapeutic options in each disease area of [infectious diseases] [brain diseases] [diabetes] [cancers].
In the Part 3, entitled “Let’s Think of Future Medicines Together,” there will be discussion of future healthcare anticipated by a medical doctor, a cancer survivor, and a researcher. We are also planning to have audiences’ participation during the sessions using the online voting system. While listening to the voices of the general public, we would like to think about desirable future medicines and use it as a reference for future research.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.

Center of Innovation Program (COI)
The COI program is a research and development program under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Japan Science and Technology Agency. The program employs the backcasting approach and set interdisciplinary and collaborative R&D themes that should be challenged at the present from the issues that are underlying in the future society. Eighteen centers have been established nationwide to realize radical innovation through industry-academia collaboration which cannot be accomplished by industry and academia alone.
The Kawasaki center is the only COI center managed by local governments, not universities, and the research projects carried out there are called COINS (Center of Open Innovation Network for Smart Health).
