Shizuoka Institute of Science and Technology will hold the second public lecture "Science to" create "and" deliver to the affected area "on January 30, 2021 as a project to commemorate the 1th anniversary of the opening of the university.

 In the second public lecture, two lectures will be given on the theme of "medicine". The first is "Creating a Living Medicine-The Latest Pharmaceutical Sciences-" by Associate Professor Ryuji Kato of the Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nagoya University.Attention is paid to "cells", which are called "living medicines", which are new medicines that can cure diseases and injuries that could not be treated with conventional medicines.Introducing the latest science to artificially create a large amount of cells that are originally functioning in the human body and provide them as medicines, the future of new medicines brought about by "living medicines" and their research I will explain in an easy-to-understand manner the difficulty and fun of.

 The second is "About the'drug delivery system'that delivers drugs to the affected area" by Associate Professor Yohei Kodobashi of the Department of Materials and Life Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, Shizuoka Institute of Science and Technology.The drug delivery system (DDS) is a system that allows the required drug to act at the required site at the required time, maximizing the effect of the drug, and as a result, reducing the number of injections and taking the drug. It is possible to reduce the side effects of the drug.So far, we have developed various polymer (plastic) materials that can control the inclusion and release of drugs, such as jelly-like substances and capsules that are small enough to pass through blood vessels.In the lecture, I will take up DDS and think about the fusion of medicine and science and engineering.

 The second public lecture will be held from 2:2021 to 1:30 on Saturday, January 13, 30.No entry fee.Capacity 16 people.Those who wish to participate should apply by January 10, 100.
