Under the framework of MEXT’s J-PEAKS program, OIST is looking to strengthen collaboration with Keio University at the innovation level. In this context, we are organizing the OIST–Keio Biomedical Innovation Exchange Day on June 15, 2026, at the Center for Research and Incubation, Keio University (CRIK Shinanomachi) in Tokyo.

This event aims to foster connections across research, startups, and industry between OIST and Keio University. Given Keio University’s extensive expertise in life sciences, particularly healthcare and biotechnology, OIST is seeking to connect the relevant researchers and POC/startup projects with Keio University’s medical startups, clinicians and researchers working in the fields of neuroscience, cardiovascular health, cancer, and aging. Register here by May 17th.
