The society was configured into its current form, and it has been a major contributor to the successful advancement of organic chemistry in Japan ever since.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022 the SSOCJ celebrated its 80th anniversary. In those 80 years the SSOCJ has grown to become an interdisciplinary academic organization of approximately 4,100 members that include many talented experts from industry, and encompasses a variety of disciplines including engineering, science, pharmacy, agriculture, biochemistry and medicinal chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>The SSOCJ remains committed to solving many challenging problems confronting people worldwide, by advancing innovative technologies in artificial intelligence, biological chemistry, environment and energy.<\/p>\n<h3>Board<\/h3>\n<div class=\"dl-style01\">\n<dl>\n<dt>President<\/dt>\n<dd>Kazuhiko Ohrai (Nissan Chemical Corporation)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<dl>\n<dt>Vice Presidents<\/dt>\n<dd>Kazumasa Aoki (Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.)<br \/>\nKimiko Sodeoka (RIKEN, Japan)<br \/>\nYujiro Hayashi (Tohoku University)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<dl>\n<dt>Directors<\/dt>\n<dd>Mitsuhiro Asakura (Nard Institute, Ltd.)<br \/>\nSatoshi Ichikawa (Hokkaido University)<br \/>\nMasayuki Inoue (The University of Tokyo)<br \/>\nRyo Irie (Kumamoto University)<br \/>\nTadashi Ema (Okayama University)<br \/>\nMitsuru Ohno (Daicel Corporation)<br \/>\nTatsuhiko Obayashi (Fujifilm Corporation)<br \/>\nKen Ohmori (Institute of Science Tokyo)<br \/>\nFumitoshi Kakiuchi (Keio University)<br \/>\nYoshiko Kagoshima (Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.)<br \/>\nTakanori Shibata (Waseda University)<br \/>\nNorio Shibata (Nagoya Institute of Technology)<br \/>\nMasaru Takayanagi (Ajinomoto Co., Inc.)<br \/>\nKazuo Takimiya (Tohoku University)<br \/>\nKazunori Tsubaki (Kyoto Prefectural University)<br \/>\nTakayuki Tsuritani (Shionogi &amp; Co., Ltd.)<br \/>\nKazuo Nagasawa (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology)<br \/>\nKoichi Fukase (Osaka University)<br \/>\nTakashi Matsumoto (Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences)<br \/>\nAkira Mitani (Nippon Soda Co., Ltd.)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<dl>\n<dt>Auditors<\/dt>\n<dd>Shigeru Ieda (Juzen Chemical Corporation)<br \/>\nNoritaka Chida (Professor Emeritus of Keio University)<br \/>\nTakeshi Furuchi (Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd.)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<dl>\n<dt>Director Secretary General<\/dt>\n<dd>Ichiro Nagai (SSOCJ)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Society of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan (SSOCJ) The Society of Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Japan (S [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-28 20:25:04","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":""},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssocj.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssocj.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssocj.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssocj.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssocj.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ssocj.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ssocj.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
