On 1 September 2023, Professor Ryuhei HAYASHI from the Graduate School of Medicine delivered an online lecture for 70 master’s students from Monash University, a strategic partner of Osaka University. With the title “Pluripotent Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine for the Eye,” the lecture highlighted the latest research developments in his lab. Regenerative medicine, an emerging field at the intersection of biology, medicine, and engineering, holds immense promise for the future of healthcare and it has been one of the main pillars of collaboration between Monash University and Osaka University.

The lecture was moderated by Associate Professor Mikaël Martino, a lead researcher at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI) of Monash University who has been working tirelessly to strengthen the relationship between the two universities. “We are delighted Professor HAYASHI shared his recent work with us,” he said. “The students found the lecture very interesting and inspirational. I also believe it was delivered very nicely and effectively.”

It is expected that this activity will further strengthen the partnership between the two universities.
