The 6th International Symposium on Biomedical Engineering was held by on-line

RCBE (Research Center for Biomedical Engineering) held the 6th international symposium by on-line in December 2 and 3. The international symposium have been held every year, and Shizuoka University was the host-coordinator this year.

Opening remarks were given by Prof. Kazuyuki Hizume, President of Shizuoka University and Mr. Makoto Ueki, University Research Facilitation Division of Director of Research Promotion Bureau in MEXT. Then Prof. Hiroyuki Kegechika, Director of Institute of Biomedical and Biomaterial Laboratory, introduced the recent activity of RCBE. During the two-day conference, 4 invited speakers, 4 young researchers, and 4 collaborators gave a lecture on the latest research results. In addition, 94 videos (like a conventional poster session) were shortly presented by on-demand and discussed by Zoom break-out room. The number of participants was 226 (including 15 overseas). Researchers in various fields such as simulation and characterization, biomarkers, and nano-micro devices discussed intensively. In the video sessions, the awards were given to 6 excellent presenters among 38 presentations of young researchers.

The symposium on 2020 was canceled due to COVID-19. However, we succeeded to have a valuable and meaningful opportunity by using on-line system this time.
