Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education

On November 5, 2026, the Frontier Development Program for Genome Editing had organized an online Advanced Science Seminar on "Developing a Future Society with Genome Editing."

In the seminar, Associate Professor (Special Appointment) KATAYAMA Shota of the Hiroshima University Genome Editing Innovation Center delivered a lecture entitled " Domestically developed genome editing technology applicable to nucleic acid therapeutics." With more than 54 attendees, the seminar was a great success. Some of the positive feedback we received for the seminar included: "It was a very interesting talk. I was particularly impressed by how basic research is developed toward practical applications. The talk helped me understand how basic research can lead to real-world applications.

The Frontier Development Program for Genome Editing shall continue to organize the Advanced Science Seminar Series "Developing a Future Society with Genome Editing" for the purpose of updating the community regarding the Frontier Development Program for Genome Editing and genome editing technology.
