description: "2022年10月12日、化学システム工学専攻 杉山 弘和 教授がバイオインダストリー奨励賞を受賞されました。
第6回バイオインダストリー奨励賞
持続的な社会と未来に貢献するバイオテクノロジー、バイオサイエンスに関連する応用を指向した優れた研究などを行っている有望な研究者とその研究業績を対象とする賞です。応用の対象分野は、生物機能を利活用した生産や環境改善、健康・医療等に関わる分野で、化学・材料・環境・エネルギー等に関連したバイオプロセス、発酵生産、食品、農林水産業、健康・栄養、ヘルスケア・医薬などです。
受賞された研究・活動について
「抗体・幹細胞製造プロセスのデジタル設計を支援するシミュレーション技術」
抗体医薬品や幹細胞の製造について、プロセス設計を支援するシミュレーション技術を開発しました。ヒトiPS細胞については、凍結時の細胞へのダメージを考慮した新規モデルを開発し、品質と生産性の向上につながる温度プロファイルを特定しました。抗体医薬品についても、品質や経済性、供給安定や環境影響を考慮したプロセス設計を展開しました。本研究は、デジタル技術による意思決定支援、さらにはR&Dの効率化や迅速化に貢献するものです。
今後の抱負・感想
この度のバイオインダストリー奨励賞受賞、大変光栄に存じます。ご指導・ご支援・ご助言を頂きました皆様、共同研究者の皆様、杉山研究室メンバーに心より御礼申し上げます。今後も製薬を対象とする新たなプロセスシステム工学の開拓に邁進する所存です。"

Bioindustry Research Award 2022

The Bioindustry Research Award is given to young researchers engaged in outstanding research activities related to biotechnology and bioscience that contribute to a sustainable society in future with appreciating practical application potentials. The wide range of fields of practical applied research activities using biological functions are the followings:   
food, agriculture, plant, forestry, fisheries, microbiome, fermentation, bio-process design, biochemical & biomaterial, bio-energy, environmental issue solutions, healthcare, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, etc.,

 

About awarded research

For the production of antibody drugs and stem cells, novel simulation technologies have been developed that can support process design. For human iPS cells, a new model has been developed that takes into account damage to cells during freezing, enabling determination of temperature profiles that lead to improved quality and productivity. For antibody drugs, process design has been explored that takes into account quality, economics, supply robustness, and environmental impacts. This research contributes to decision support through digital technology, as well as to more efficient and agile R&D.

 

Your impression & future plan

I am very honored to receive Bioindustry Research Award 2022. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of my collaborators and advisors for their support, and he members of Sugiyama Lab for their hard work and innovation. I will continue to make efforts to explore new process system engineering for pharmaceuticals.
