I would first like to express my sincere gratitude to the FY2025 Support Program for Young Researchers to Present at Overseas Research Conferences supported by Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences, which enabled me to participate in the international conference Pacifichem 2025. Pacifichem is one of the largest international chemistry conferences held every five years in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. It was jointly organized by chemical societies from the Pacific basin countries and covers a broad range of topics across chemistry, chemical biology, and related interdisciplinary fields, which greatly contributed to the effective dissemination of my work and academic exchange.

During the conference from December 15 to 20, I attended multiple academic sessions related to chemical biology, organic synthesis, and proteomic analysis, and actively engaged in scientific discussions. Through participation in the conference, I aimed to share research outcomes, learn about current advances in related fields, and establish academic connections with researchers from diverse backgrounds.

As part of my duties, I gave a poster presentation in the session Synthetic Modulators of Protein Interaction Networks: From Discovery to Therapeutics entitled “Visible-light-induced Proximity Labeling Based on Genetically Encoded Fluorescent Proteins” introducing my recent research progress to international audiences, which attracted interest from researchers working in a wide range of research areas. Many researchers showed strong interest in the conceptual design and potential applications of the visible-light-induced proximity labeling strategy. I engaged in in-depth discussions with researchers specializing in protein chemical modification, photocatalytic synthetic methodology, and intracellular environment sensing. These exchanges provided valuable feedback on experimental design and mechanistic considerations, and offered constructive suggestions for improving my ongoing work. Furthermore, the discussions helped inspire potential new research directions and applications, contributing positively to the further development and refinement of my research project.

Finally, I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Sato, as well as my collaborators. Their valuable advice and constructive feedback were essential to the final presentation.
