【研究成果】自分の細胞に光合成する生物を宿して生きる「光共生」。宿主のミドリゾウリムシと内部のクロレラを調べると、栄養が全くない環境でも、細胞内で栄養を再利用する「循環農業」で生き延びました。光合成と捕食を細胞内で融合させた「生きる閉鎖型循環系」です。共生細胞進化研究室の総研大生・岡田薫さん、宮城島進也教授らのチームによる成果です。岡田さんは2025年6月、ソウルで開かれた国際会議「ICOP/ISOP2025」で最優秀口頭発表賞を受賞しました。https://www.nig.ac.jp/nig/ja/2025/10/research-highlights_ja/rh20251030.html

Presented “Silk-fibroin based Ophthalmic Materials: the next frontier?” today at the International Society of #Presbyopia, #ISOP2025 #SilkEye. Leveraging biocompatibility, transparency, mechanical & refractive tunability, controlled biodegradability of #Silk for 👁️ treatment @erc.europa.eu #VioBioLab

International #Presbyopia Conference kicking off now in Copenhagen. Proud co-organizer of a program that every year distills the latest science, technology & practice of presbyopia understanding & correction #ISOP2025

Thanks ICOP/ISOP2025! I had a blast. See you in Prague! #protistsonsky

Today is the last day of #ICOP-ISOP2025! It was a blast, I enjoyed it a lot, feel very motivated, met and talked with plenty of fellow scientists, but also regret I couldn't discuss with even more people! Until next time :) #protistsonsky

Still buzzing from my talk at #ICOP2025 / #ISOP2025 yesterday—thank you all for the great feedback and support! 🧬🧫 #protistsonsky

Excited and honored to receive the Holz-Conner award and to present my research at the upcoming #ICOP2025 / #ISOP2025 in Seoul! Looking forward to sharing insights on Rhizarian genomics & metabolism. Join me June 22-27 at Sungkyunkwan University. #protistsonsky #SciComm
