WPI-Bio2Q participated in Metabolome Symposium 2023 by exhibiting at a booth in Kawasaki, Japan from October 18 to 20.

Chairperson of the Executive Committee: Makoto Arita, Professor, Keio University Faculty of Pharmacy /Team Leader, RIKEN Biomedical Sciences Research Center

The following scientific messages were shared with visitors at the WPI-Bio2Q booth.

1. Accumulate multiomics data from humans and model organisms and compile a multidimensional database.
2. Elucidate the structure and function of microbiome-derived metabolites.
3. Refine imaging metabolomics and structural biology to promote in situ functional analysis of metabolites in organs and cells.
4. Develop quantum computing-based algorithms and pipelines to analyze the interactions between multiple organs and microorganisms.
5. Model the interface between the environment and the human body by advancing organoid technology and animal models and elucidate the mechanisms underlying the conversion of external factors into internal signals.
6. Leverage connectomics and structural biology to understand the dynamic multiorgan interactions, including gut-brain communication.
