The detailed record of this study is presented in a separate booket. Itwas recognized that future of life science is bright and a number of exciting frontiiers which attract young scientists were discussed : they inculude brain science, high order of intrand inter-cellular signaling, developmental biology, regulation of cell growth and differentiation. It was also noted that these basic studies are inseparable from those required for elucidating the cause of human diseases.With respect to the overall regulations to govem organizations, a number of defects or shortcomings built in the Japanese system have been pointed out. Dr. Sugimura's remark, "The present Japanese system is choking", eloquently described the curent status. Those whe are currently working or have experience in the US system (including Dr. Susumu Tonegawa) and those who have experienced to create new research organizations in Japan (including Drs. Setsuro Ebashi, Takashi Sugimura, Yoji Ikawa, Mitsuru Takanami, Mutsuo S … More ekiguchi) pointed out the difference in the US and Japanese systems and the problems that Japanese system have which need to be improved quickly. A particularly noteworthy point of discussion was that one of the most important basis of the strenght of American sceince is the power of young scientists who can express themselves freely and independently. Most of the participants agreed that this is one of the most significant reason why there are far more truly creative research accomplished in the US than in Japan. In a number of universities and research institutes in Japan, new plans are being considered for reorganization of groups, creation of life science centers or a graduate school specifically aimed at life science studies. A number of suggestions for improvements that have been made throughout this study would be valuable for those who are engaged in a reform of their research organizations. Almost al the participants in this study expressed their wish that someone should make efforts to make bareakthrough which would eventually hepl improving the whole system in Japan in such a way that Japanese scientists accomplish tryly creative research as much as scientists in other countries do.

这项研究的详细记录放在另一本小册子中。人们认识到生命科学的前景是光明的，并讨论了吸引年轻科学家的一些令人兴奋的前沿领域：脑科学、高级细胞内和细胞间信号转导、发育生物学、细胞生长和分化的调节。还指出，这些基础研究与阐明人类疾病原因所需的研究是分不开的。关于对政府机构的总体规定，指出了日本制度中存在的一些缺陷或缺陷。杉村博士的话“目前的日本体制令人窒息”，雄辩地描述了当前的状况。那些目前在美国系统工作或有经验人员(包括Tonegawa博士)和那些有在日本创建新研究机构经验的人(包括Setsuro Ebashi博士、Takashi Sugimura博士、Yoji Ikawa博士、Mitsuru Takanami博士、Mutsuo S…More Eiguchi)指出了美国和日本制度的差异，以及日本制度存在的问题，需要迅速改进。特别值得注意的一点是，美国科学实力的最重要基础之一是年轻科学家的力量，他们能够自由和独立地表达自己的观点。大多数参与者一致认为，这是美国完成的真正创造性研究远远多于日本的最重要原因之一。在日本的一些大学和研究机构，正在考虑新的计划，以重组团体，创建生命科学中心或专门针对生命科学研究的研究生院。在整个研究过程中提出的一些改进建议对那些正在进行研究组织改革的人来说是有价值的。几乎所有参与这项研究的人都表达了他们的愿望，希望有人能努力突破，最终完善日本的整个体系，使日本科学家能够像其他国家的科学家一样，努力完成创造性的研究。较少
