Part 2 of our #StellarLabRadio interview with Professor Kyoko Miura moves away from the biology of the naked mole-rat and into the personal journey behind her scientific career. Before she entered the world of research, she was deeply immersed in band life. ss-f.org/en/article/s...

In the latest episode of #StellarLabRadio, Professor Kyoko MIURA of Kyushu University takes us deep into the world of the #NakedMole-rat—an extraordinary mammal that almost never develops #cancer, #diabetes, or #Alzheimer’s, and can live for nearly 40 years. EN: lnkd.in/gQPcJcwh

Sean McKelvey, Strategic Designer of SS-F, joined Thursday Gathering at CIC Fukuoka as a panelist. It was a great opportunity to engage with startups, VCs, and key players from Japan and Korea, and to explore the possibilities of next-generation bio-innovation across borders!

Mariko Kita, Co-Representative and Board Member of SS-F, joined as a panelist in the special session “Funding Science for the Next 100 Years” at esse-sense Future Forum 2025 on Friday, September 19.

He shares how everyday phenomena can spark new research, why overlooked or “negative” data often carries hidden value, and how assembling the right collaborators is part of designing good science. 🔗 Read in English: ss-f.org/.../stellarl... 🔗 Listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/3Y4s...

We held our annual SS-F retreat in Atami this year! Since the founding of SS-F, we have hosted this retreat every year, bringing together community members from around the world. A detailed report will be shared soon. Stay tuned!

“The courage to not carry everything alone.” This mindset changed Dr. Naoji Matsuhisa’s approach to science. A pioneer in wearable electronics, he learned at #Stanford that great research isn’t about tools—it’s about people and openness. ss-f.org/en/article/i...

“There’s nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” This quote from #Hamlet stayed with Dr. Ayuko Hoshino ever since her teenage years—and it now underpins her philosophy as a pioneering scientist in #exosome research. ss-f.org/en/article/i...

#Exosomes—extracellular vesicles measuring just 30 to 150 nanometers—are now drawing global attention for their potential roles in intercellular communication, #disease mechanisms, and physiological processes such as #pregnancy. 📖 Read the full interview: ss-f.org/article/inve...

“The pace and depth of dialogue in the SS-F community was on another level.” Dr. Haruka Sasaki on #umami, #asthma, and stepping beyond the lab. 🔗 ss-f.org/en/article/i...
