In this meeting, we shared research progress, research plan, and social implementation approach as we shared recognition. This time we had an Introduction of new division and company session by Michihiro TSUCHIYA (Organizer, TONOMACHI LifeScience Cluster Division, KAWASAKI INSTITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL PROMOTION) and Tsuyoshi KASAHARA (Director, Development Department, Medical Division, Nitto Denko Corporation).

Finally, Toshio ASANO (Advisor of COINS / Asahi Kasei Corporation), Tatsuro IRIMURA (Advisor of COINS / Juntendo University), and Haruhiko MANABE (Japan Science and Technology Agency) gave us feedback.
