Seminar on Microphysiological Systems (MPS): Foundations and Applications

Date: September 18, 2025
Time: 13:30 - 16:30 JST
Platform: Zoom
Organizer: CMC Research (https://cmcre.com/)
Lecturer: Toshiyuki Kanamori, CEO of Medtech Consulting LLC

Introduction

We're excited to announce an upcoming live seminar focused on Microphysiological Systems (MPS), a groundbreaking technology that is transforming drug development. As the U.S. FDA pushes for MPS implementation, it's crucial for Japan to catch up in this rapidly advancing field. In this seminar, Mr. Kanamori will share his extensive knowledge, grounded in real-world examples and experiences, to elucidate the current status and future direction of MPS in Japan and globally.

What to Expect

Participants will dive into the following key topics during the session:

• - The background behind the development of Microphysiological Systems (MPS).
• - Definition and functions of MPS.
• - Current domestic trends regarding the social implementation of MPS.
• - Challenges in business and technology associated with the social implementation of MPS.
• - New developments and innovations in MPS.

Attendees

This seminar is geared towards professionals involved in:

• - Pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and CDMOs considering the integration of MPS.
• - Manufacturers of chemicals, cosmetics, and food exploring alternatives to animal testing.
• - Academia and research institutions interested in innovative in vivo mimetic technologies.
• - Companies looking to commercialize MPS technology or expand their capabilities in this domain.

Seminar Details

• - Registration Fees:

General: 44,000 JPY (tax included)
Newsletter Subscribers: 39,600 JPY (tax included)
Academics: 26,400 JPY (tax included)

• - Materials will be provided with each registration.
• - Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in Q&A sessions during the seminar.

Background of MPS
Microphysiological Systems represent a revolutionary approach to increasing efficiency in pharmaceutical R&D. Globally, research in this area is booming, but Japan is currently lagging in its implementation. As of 2022, the necessity for animal testing in drug development was abolished in the U.S., and a restructuring process focusing on MPS has begun under the guidance of the FDA. This seminar will not only cover the historical and current landscape of MPS but also discuss the expectations of researchers for MPS technology and its regulatory landscape. Finally, participants will learn about the technical aspects of developing and commercializing MPS.
