1. Outline An international workshop (17th International Workshop on Oxide Electronics: WOE-17) was organized by the 131st Committee on Thin Film of JSPS, during September 19th (Sun.) – 22nd (Fri.), 2010, at the Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center, Awaji, Hyogo, Japan. The number of participants were 185 [89 from Japan, 96 non-Japanese (15 each from USA, Switzerland, Korea; 6 each from the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and France; 5 each from Spain, and Taiwan; 3 each from Norway, and UK; 2 from Canada; 1 each from Singapore, India, China, and Israel] and 13 accompanying persons. Representative participants were J. Fontcuberta (Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona ICMAB CSIC, Spain), J. Junquera (Universidad de Cantabria, Spain), M. Fiebig (University of Bonn, Germany), Y. Dagan (Tel Aviv University, Israel), A. Rusydi (National University of Singapore, Singapore), A. Ruegg (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, Switzerland), C. –B. Eom (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA), T. Kawai (Osaka University, Japan), H. Koinuma (University of Tokyo, Japan), H. Hosono (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan), Y. Tokura (University of Tokyo, Japan), M. Kawasaki (Tohoku University, Japan), Y. Kuroiwa (Hiroshima University, Japan), and many other outstanding researchers. Total budget was 11,000 kYen including 2,216 kYen as one of the JSPS Symposium Projects. 2. Implementation, Results, and Publication At the symposium, Prof. Yoshikawa and Prof. Davies gave out the special lectures on ”Free Radical-Mediated Lipid Peroxidation; Contribution to Medicine” and “The RCAN1 Gene May Link Oxidative Stress with Alzheimer’s Disease, Down Syndrome, and Huntington Disease” respectively. These lectures suggested the future prospects for clinical application of the latest findings. (Photo 1-1 and 1-2)
In addition, total of eight sessions titled as「Progress in the detection of ROS and innovative drug development」, 「Mapping of free radical reaction in carcinogenesis and cancer prevention」, 「Gaseous molecular species such as NO or CO as signal transduction in vivo」, 「New insight for prevention of disease by antioxidant derived from natural product」, 「Oxidative stress by mitochondrial dysfunction and disease」, 「Reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species as inflammatory mediator」were held. Discussions among researchers were focused on the latest findings and poster presentations were all outstanding. Theme and number of presentations are listed in Table 1.
The evaluation systems for free radicals and oxidative stresses have changed dramatically in recent years and investigation diagnosis, prevention, treatment of disease has attracted much public attention. In the meantime, it was a great opportunity to review and validate the results of international scientific research on free radicals with the leaders both from Japan and abroad, also to share the vision for future research has indeed encouraged young researchers. At the poster session, we have awarded “Young Investigator Award” to two young researchers with their outstanding abstracts. (Photo 2) To celebrate this congress, articles of invited speakers were featured in January issue of the official Journal of Society for Free Radical Research Japan. Despite the recession, we sincerely appreciate for the encouraging support. |
