第97回日本薬理学会(12月14日～16日)出展報告
Report on Exhibit at the 97th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Pharmacological Society (December 14-16)

会期 ：2023年12月14日(木)～16日(土)
会場 ：神戸国際展示場2号館（神戸市）

日本薬理学会にてNCBNのブース展示を行いました。場所は神戸市国際展示場2号館。分子生物学会に続いて神戸で学会が開催されました。ブースの場所は2号館の奥、休憩場所の目の前でした。
日本薬理学会と日本臨床薬理学会との合同開催、かつ会場も大きなフロアに一つということもあり、順調に来訪いただけました。持って行ったパンフレット100部を全て配ることができました。

NCBNについて知っている方は検査学会、分子生物学会より多かったですがまだまだ広報活動は必要と感じました。今回説明をした中では薬学会へのお誘いをいただきましたので、次回の薬学会に参加を考えてみたいと思います。
NCBNのことを説明すると皆様関心を持っていただけますが、申請方法やその期間までの質問があるのでその辺りを分かり易くHPなどへの記載が必要と感じました。
他の学会でもそうですが、全体的に分譲の価格や提供後の成果、実績について聞かれることが多かったです。
またブースで流している動画から他の成果を聞かれることがありましたので動画での成果紹介は一定の効果があるという印象ですので、今後は動画の追加、更新についても考えていこうと思います。

倫理のことについてお話くださる方もおりました。日本には再生医療など全分野含めるアメリカよりも多い倫理委員会があるとのこと。驚きました。

サンプルについては、介入前後のサンプルがあると良い、経過がわかるサンプルが欲しいなど、コホートのように経過ごとのサンプル取得については要望が高く難しい話ですがNCBN内で検討できればと提案したいと思います。本学会でも小児、新生児のサンプルを探しているというお話をいただきました。改めて小児成育関連の試料の需要の高さを感じます。また感染症や肝疾患についても質問を多くいただきました。

最後に今年複数の学会にブース展示を行い、多くの方に説明させていただいておりますが、NCBNは何かできそうな有用な存在であると感じてもらえているという印象ですので、その何かを逃さないように実例紹介などを通してNCBNを活用しやすい状況にしていきたいと考えております。

Dates : Thursday, December 14 – Saturday, December 16, 2023
Venue : Kobe International Exhibition Hall No. 2, Kobe, Japan

NCBN’s booth was exhibited at the Japanese Pharmacological Society. The location was Kobe International Exhibition Hall No. 2. The conference was held in Kobe following the Molecular Biology Society of Japan. The booth was located in the back of Hall 2, right in front of the rest area.
The booth was well attended because it was held jointly with the Japanese Pharmacological Society and the Japanese Society of Clinical Pharmacology, and was located on one large floor. We were able to distribute all 100 copies of the pamphlet we brought with us.

Although there were more visitors who knew about NCBN than those who knew about the Society for Clinical Biology or the Molecular Biology Society, we felt that more promotional activities are still needed. We received invitations to attend the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan among those to whom we gave explanations this time, so we would like to consider attending the next Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
When I explained about the NCBN, everyone was interested in it, but since there were questions about how to apply and how long it takes, I felt it was necessary to clearly describe the details on the website.
As is the case at other conferences, we were often asked about the price of sales, results after sales, and achievements.
We were also asked about other results from the video we were showing at the booth, so we have the impression that introducing results in video is effective to a certain extent, so we will consider adding and updating videos in the future.

There was also a person who talked about ethics. He said that Japan has more ethics committees than the U.S. including all fields such as regenerative medicine. I was surprised.

As for samples, there are many requests for obtaining samples for each progress like cohort, such as samples before and after the intervention and samples that show the progress, etc. It is a difficult subject, but I would like to propose that it should be considered within NCBN. We have been told that they are looking for samples of children and newborns at this conference as well. Once again, I am reminded of the high demand for samples related to pediatric growth and development. We also received many questions about infectious diseases and liver diseases.

Finally, we have exhibited our booth at several academic conferences this year and have explained the NCBN to many people, and we have the impression that people feel that the NCBN is useful and that something can be done with it. We hope to make it easier for people to use NCBN by introducing actual cases so that they do not miss anything.
