Joint Workshop of 2nd JST-SICORP Workshop & 6th Investigative Commission of Ortho – Organogenesis

Summary
Joint Workshop of 2nd JST-SICORP Workshop & 6th Investigative Commission of Ortho – Organogenesis

The aim of this workshop is to present new findings including unpublished data and discuss each other to stimulate research field on mechanisms of homeostasis and its application to organisms, which is expected to play a central role in implementation of health and medical care in the society. It will be mainly discussed on the topics of systemic regeneration, anti-inflammation, and biological defenses arose from environmental sensing in the gut.

This workshop also aims to develop international collaboration through co-organization with Strategic International Collaborative Research Program (SICORP) operated by Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). We welcome all of you and look forward to having active discussions!
