We have been conducting researches on FPP on the theme of "Healthy Aging", aimed at achieving to reduce medical costs though preventive medicine.

2010 Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Applied Glycoscience was held at Shizuoka Convention & Arts Center "GRANSHIP" from 15th to 17th of September, 2010.
While we have been working together with internationally renowned scientists and doctors and presented the results of the collaborative researches, we have been advancing our own research on carbohydrate which is a major component of FPP.
On this occasion the O.R.I. researcher Keiko NISHIDA made a presentation at the session "Structure and Function of carbohydrate (polysaccharide)" to present the results of our research works.
At the convivial party after the session, we had a chance to talk with many people who took interest in our presentation and got tips on further researches. We would like to continue to make this kind of presentations at other academic meetings as well.
