II. “ASIA SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION

PROMOTION STRATEGY: SOLUTION OF RESEARCH ISSUES SHARED BY ASIAN REGIONS”

Following the termination of the JSPS multilateral program in the field of

Biotechnology under the framework of Core-University System in 2004, ICBiotech has been running another international program of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), the project "Establishment of Bioproduction Research Center for Southeast Asian Bioresources". It is a program of "Asia Science and Technology Strategic Cooperation Program" supported by the Special Coordination Funds for Promotion of Science and Technology (SCF). Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) is commissioned to implement the operation.

1. Purpose

i) Strengthen the Science and Technology community in Asian nations through network formation and international research activities for common challenges in the Asian region.

ii) Promotion of cooperating activities with Asian nations for Science and Technology.

Southeast Asian region is rich in resources of agriculture, forestry and

fisheries, and also has vast bioresources. However, it is the common problem in the region that these abundant bioresources has not been utilized efficiently or has not resulted in creation of biotechnology industry. The "Bioproduction

664

Research Center" program aims to provide efficient platform with Thai bioresources as the model. 2. Research Methodology

The process starting from the survey of unexplored bioresources to the actual bioproduction in industrial scale far exceeds the scale of any one field of biotechnology. With the bioresources in Thailand as the model, with respect to the development of utilizable bioresources, international collaboration will be established to design and perform cycles starting from the collection and evaluation of data on bioresources � planning � implementation �evaluation, from the viewpoint of final industrial-scale bioproduction, which will connect efficiently basic research on known and/or novel bioresources to the actual industrial-scale bioproduction.

<Organization of the Joint Project between Thai Consortium and Japanese University Consortium>

3. Implementation System Japanese academic consortium is formed from professional academic staffs

belonging to five Japanese universities (Osaka University, University of Tokyo, Hokkaido University, Kyushu University and Toyama Prefectural University) who are experts in several steps of industrial biotechnology. Similarly, Thai academic consortium is formed from representative researchers in the field of biotechnology from Thai top universities/institutions [Mahidol University, Chulalongkorn University, Kasetsert University, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, and National Center for Genetic Engineering and

665

Biotechnology (BIOTEC)]. The international collaboration is performed between the Japanese consortium and the Thai consortium to design and establish efficient way in the utilization of bioresources, engaging in researches of three different levels for practical industrial-scale production, namely i) finding novel/useful bioresources for potential industrial production, ii) breeding and improvement of the bioresources for actual industrial production, and iii) development of practical processes for industrial production; together with the strategic analysis on the status of present bioresources in Thailand and proposals for more efficient utilization of the bioresources to create value-added bioproducts.
