  This year's Pharmascience Forum was held under the theme "The International Symposium of Structural-Based Immunology and Virology on Drug Discovery based on the collaboration with University of Oxford". We invited the four professors from Oxford University to give lectures as described above. They are active scientists with remarkable achievements in the fields of structural immunology and structural virology. It was a valuable opportunity to talk with renowned researchers directly.

   There were many participants not only from the Faculty of Pharmacy but also from other Faculties, and actively exchanged ideas. Participating students also asked important questions and took notes during the lectures.

  In future, the findings obtained in this forum are expected to lead to detailed elucidation of virus invasion process and vaccine development.
