The 29th East Asia Joint Symposium

[History]

The EAJS was initiated as a joint research conference between the Institute of Medical Science of the University of Tokyo and the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Seoul National University (Korea) in 1994 and has been held annually for recent twenty-seven years. During the twenty-seven years, the EAJS has expanded by inviting other seven institutes.

[Aim]

To facilitate the exchange of information and foster good relationships among top East Asian life science researchers.
