Prof. Hiromi Sakai, PhD

Universal Transfusions: Unlocking the power of Synthetic Blood

With a career dedicated to hemoglobin-based therapeutics, Prof. Sakai is the forefront of one of Japan’s most prestigious medical research projects, supported by Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) and focused on HbVs - hemoglobin vesicles that replicate red blood cells and are currently in clinical trials.

What if the biggest barrier to saving a life isn’t the lack of knowledge or skill, but the absence of something as vital as blood itself? In moments when every second counts, the future of emergency medicine may no longer rely on traditional transfusions.

Imagine a solution injectable on the spot, with no need to match blood type or worry about contamination, storage limitations or infection risks.

If these topics stir your curiosity about the future of transfusions and emergency medicine, then you won’t want to miss the keynote by Prof. Hiromi Sakai, PhD, Professor of Chemistry at Nara Medical University and chief investigator of the artificial red cells project.

Robotic Uterus Transplantation: A Milestone in Reproductive Surgery

Medicine is advancing rapidly, offering new hope to women affected by absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI). The birth of children has become possible through robotic uterus transplantation, a minimally-invasive method especially for the donor, turning what once seemed impossible into a true medical miracle.

Medicine is advancing rapidly, offering new hope to women affected by absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI). The birth of children has become possible through robotic uterus transplantation, a minimally-invasive method especially for the donor, turning what once seemed impossible into a true medical miracle.

To learn more about this innovative technique, join us to hear directly from one of the great minds behind it – Adj. Prof. Pernilla Dahm Kähler, MD, PhD, Head of the Department of Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. Involved from the very beginning in one of the most revolutionary procedures in modern medicine, she contributed to the first successful uterine transplantation in 2014, using open surgery. Afterward, the introduction of a robotic-assisted approach enhanced donor safety by reducing blood loss and accelerating recovery. With a focus on gynecological malignancies, Adj. Prof. Dahm Kähler also played a key role in advanced ovarian cancer management and robotic-assisted surgery.
