The 2nd Osaka University-OIST symposium

Theme

“Neuroscience, Immunology and cutting edge technologies including imaging ”

Summary

The Provost and the Dean of Research will organize the 2^nd symposium to facilitate interaction between OIST and Graduate School of Medicine/Faculty of Medicine, Osaka University. The theme for this time is " Neuroscience, Immunology and cutting edge technologies including imaging ".  OIST is planning to facilitate collaborations in medical field, including methodological and technological development, going forward. Such interactions are expected and specifically encouraged by the CAO, BOG and benefit the future of both and other academic institutions in Japan.

For those who are interested, please join this symposium for discussion.
