Deep Tech Kyoto - Reverse Pitch by University Faculty for Management Recruitment from ECC-iCAP - "Life Science Pioneers Future Society" in Kyoto

This project was selected by NEDO as part of its "FY2023 Project to Support the Recruitment of Management Professionals for University Startups (MPM)," with the aim of identifying management professionals who are interested in starting their own businesses or participating in startup management, and matching them with technology seeds from universities and other organizations and university startups. The purpose of this program is to discover management talents who wish to start their own businesses or participate in start-up management.

Research Seeds like this! Reverse Pitch Event by University Faculty

This event invites professors from academia, mainly from Kyoto University, to reverse pitch their research seeds for social implementation.

In this issue.life scienceFive of Kyoto University's leading scientific front-runners will take the stage, offering a chance to turn cutting-edge research that will change the future into a business (social implementation).Discussion time with each speakerWe have also established aWe look forward to welcoming those interested in university start-up entrepreneurship!

He studied proteolysis at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science and the Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo, and has been a specific associate professor at the Hakubi Center since 2015 and in his current position since 2020. Doctor of Science.
He specializes in post-translational modification and proteolysis. He is involved in drug discovery research that artificially manipulates proteolysis.

Hidetoshi Sakurai(Associate Professor, iPS Cell Research Institute, Kyoto University)
Graduated from Nagoya University School of Medicine in 1998. After working at Nagoya Byusaikai Hospital, he received his degree, and after working as a researcher at Nagoya University School of Medicine and at the Kyoto University Center for iPS Cell Research, he became an independent PI at the Kyoto University iPS Cell Research Institute in 2009, and hosted his own lab there from 2015. D. in Medicine.
The project aims to establish a treatment for intractable muscle diseases (especially muscular dystrophy) using iPS cells through two processes (cell transplantation therapy and drug development).
