Consul General Osumi gives remarks
On Wednesday, February 14, Consul General Osumi hosted a reception for medical professionals participating in the Japan Biodesign program, a Stanford University-affiliated fellowship that aims to help Japanese medical experts create innovative medical devices and solutions using design thinking. This event was co-hosted by the US-Japan Healthcare Connection, a sister organization of the Japan Society of Northern California.
The program began with opening remarks from Consul General Osumi and an explanation of the fellowship from Japan Biodesign Program Director Dr. Fumiaki Ikeno , followed by a toast led by Mr. Gordon Saul, Executive Director of the Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign. Program fellows also gave presentations on the progress of the Japan Biodesign Fellowship and detailed some of the projects they worked on throughout the program. Presentations were followed by a networking reception and buffet, where fellows had the opportunity to speak with local life sciences representatives and Consular Corps members.
