Event time series analysis and its application to neuroscience

Associate Professor Ryota Kobayashi

Event time series is the data of the time when an event occurred, and can be found across fields such as SNS, financial markets, and the brain. In this talk, I will introduce the analysis techniques of event time series data and its application to neuroscience.

Visiting Professor Masahiro Yasunaga

Antibody DDS and immunotargeting

Visiting Professor Masahiro Yasunaga

Decreased immune system and its abnormal response can cause cancer, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases. We are challenging to what extent the immune system can be controlled by immune targeting using antibody-based drug delivery systems (DDS). I would also like to go into the development of anti-aging therapy against immune aging, the enemy of middle-aged and elderly people.

Associate Professor Hiroe Ishihara

From Ecosystem Services to Nature's Contribution to People: Frontiers in Biodiversity and Ecosystem Conservation Policy

Associate Professor Hiroe Ishihara

From food production to air and other material cycles, human society receives a wide range of benefits from ecosystems and biodiversity, and the value of these benefits is estimated to be as high as $33 trillion per year, according to a study by Costanza et al. However, this economic valuation of biodiversity and ecosystems has been subject to various international criticisms for ignoring the diverse relationships humans have with nature. In this seminar, the concept of "Nature's Contribution to People", which seeks to expand ecosystem services to include diverse perspectives, will be discussed in the "Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES)". I will introduce some of the latest biodiversity and ecosystem conservation policies by clarifying how the concept of "Nature's Contribution to People" was born in the "Intergovernmental science-policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). This presentation will introduce some aspects of the latest biodiversity and ecosystem conservation policies.
