東大が世界的に影響力を拡大していくためには？
FUTI FIRESIDE CHAT SERIES- 2Title: How Can The University of Tokyo Expand Its Influence Globally?[東大が世界的に影響力を拡大していくためには？]Aug 9, 2024, Friday, 8.30pm-9.30pm+ (EDST) [Saturday, Aug 10, 9.30am~10.30am+, Japan] ONLINEFriends of UTokyo is pleased to present this online dialogue featuring three distinguished alumni: Professor Iwao Ojima, Mr. Ko-Yung Tung and Ms. Eri Furusawa. Dr. Ojima is an internationally renowned scientist and the Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Prof. Ko-Yung Tung is Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School, was the Senior Vice President of the World Bank and partner at major international law firms. Ms. Eri Furusawa is an HR&A professional, an urban planner, and supports public- and private-sector clients on issues of equitable governance, inclusive community engagement, and climate change. Prof. Geeta Mehta will chair this event with Dr. Masako Osako facilitating the optional social gathering section. (All bios are at this page).This event is part of a series created to bring together UTokyo international alumni for encouraging dialogues among UTokyo alumni and friends.Abstract:The University of Tokyo is committed to serving the global public as outlined in the University charter. Under the leadership of the former President Gonokami in 2017, the University of Tokyo created the Future Society Initiatives (FSI) and has undertaken a variety of measures, including “the expansion of diversity and inclusiveness, the international visibility of UTokyo's potential, and the fostering of human resources capable of leading GX (green transformation)." Under the leadership of the current President, Prof. Fujii, the University has launched an initiative to establish a “College of Design” (tentative name) as part of its efforts to "create a model university for the 21st Century". Capitalizing on the extensive and diverse international experience of participating alumni, we expect to come up with deeper insight into the initiative as well as suggestions as to how alumni may help the university’s efforts, which will be conveyed to the office of the President Fujii.Format: Zoom invite will be sent to people who RSVPLanguage: English (panel discussion), English and Japanese (Q and A)RSVP: Please RSVP by August 6 using the online registration form (https://forms.gle/BeR98krRYjCvcUGd8) or email info [at] friendsofutokyo.org with 1) your name, 2) email address, 3) major and year of graduation at Tokyo, 4) current affiliation, 5) questions for the presenters.Organizer: Friends of UTokyo (www.friendsofutokyo.org)Co-sponsors: Satsuki-kai America, FUTI Alumni Association (to be confirmed) and othersNote: Photos taken during the session may be used in FUTI’s online and offline publications.

次世代タキサンとその腫瘍特異的投与法に基づく効果的な癌化学療法の探求
New York州立Stony Brook 大学のDistinguished Professorでおられる尾島 巌 教授を囲む講演・懇親会を企画致しました。皆様、是非御参加ください。お友達、ご家族の参加も大歓迎です。
有機化学・医薬化学分野で国際的に著名な研究者でおられる尾島教授には上記のテーマでお話いただきます。非常にタイムリーなテーマであるため、質疑応答の時間も十分に取ってございます。教授は天然物化学で世界的に最も権威あるEarnest Guenther Awardを米国化学会から今年度授与されました。教授は東大友の会の諮問委員をされています。
＜アブストラクト＞
パクリタキセル(タキソール®) およびドセタキセルは、様々な種類の癌に対して最も広く使用されている化学療法薬の一つです。しかし, これらの薬剤は、望ましくない副作用だけでなく、薬剤耐性を引き起こします。したがって、特に多薬剤耐性および転移性癌に対して、より良い薬理学的特性および改善された活性を有する次世代タキサン抗がん剤を開発することが不可欠です。私たちの研究は、多数の高活性な第2および第3世代のタキサン制癌剤の発見につながりました。第3世代タキサンは、癌細胞の多剤薬耐性を実質的に克服しました。さらに、癌の再発や転移の原因となっている癌幹細胞に対しても、次世代タキサンは優れた効能を発揮します。
本講演では、次世代タキサン制癌剤の発見・開発とその効果的な腫瘍特異的的投与法を探求して25年以上にわたって行ってきた研究を簡潔に紹介します。これらの取り組みにおける多領域学際的な研究の重要性と、創薬における新しいかたちの産学連携の現状についても触れたいと思います。
