JST-Stanford Symposium (February 16, 2021)

A JST-Stanford Symposium titled "Practical Innovations against COVID-19" was co-hosted by JST and Stanford University. JST president Dr. Hamaguchi opened with remarks noting the importance of JST's COVID-19 response 'Plan B'*. Chair of Stanford University School of Medicine's Anesthesia Department, Dr. Pearl, also provided a welcome message to emphasize the importance of potential collaboration between JST and Stanford University.

The symposium featured 3 keynote speakers:

- Hiroshi Amano, Professor, Nagoya University, 2014 Nobel Laureate in Physics
- Yasuhiro Tsukamoto, President, Kyoto Prefectural University
- Michael Snyder, Professor, Stanford University School of Medicine

These keynote speakers brought a variety of perspectives. Prof. Amano explained about the recent development of deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV LEDs) and the air/water purification systems in which DUV LEDs are used to decontaminate surfaces that have come into contact with COVID-19. Dr. Tsukamoto introduced several applications of the ostrich antibody, e.g. an antiviral non-woven fabric facemask using the antibody. Prof. Snyder demonstrated how wearables data can be used for early, presymptomatic detection of COVID-19. For the following panel discussion, topics included our common challenges, ways to help each other, and win-win collaborations between Stanford and JST.

*Plan B is a multidisciplinary approach to create a society in which we can move, meet, gather and do business freely under COVID-19 conditions, alongside Plan A (trials of vaccines and drugs).
