The Center of Innovation for Bio-DX Exhibited at Expo2025 Osaka, Kansai,Japan! :2025-08-29

The Center of Innovation for Bio-DX, in which PtBio Inc.  is a participating member, participated in the “Science: Connecting You to the Future” at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, held over six days from August 14 to 19, 2025.

During the six-day exhibition, more than 70,000 visitors attended the event, many of whom expressed words of encouragement and expectations for our initiatives on Allergy-free Egg Products.

At our booth, under the theme “Eating Together with Joy: How Science Makes Eggs Safe for Everyone,” we showcased the research of Hiroshima University. Through videos, posters, and explanations provided by our staff, numerous visitors deepened their understanding and interest in Allergy-free Egg Products.

Children who participated in the “Does it contain eggs? Food Quiz” were surprised to learn that certain unexpected foods contain eggs, enjoying the experience while being intrigued by their discoveries.

Furthermore, our “FutureEgg” initiative—where visitors enclosed their wishes for the commercialization of allergy-reduced eggs into egg-shaped capsules—received more than 1,000 messages. Among them were heartfelt notes of encouragement addressed to researchers and developers, which we carefully reviewed and deeply appreciated.

We are sincerely grateful for the number of visitors, which far exceeded our expectations.

At Hiroshima University, we continue to pursue the removal of allergenic substances using genome-editing technology, with the aim of realizing a future where, for example, even those with egg allergies can enjoy eating eggs with peace of mind.

On the website of the Center of Innovation for Bio-DX, we present a selection of questions received from visitors.
