The 3rd Ryudai-OIST symposium

Theme

“Medical Sciences: basic medical science to clinical medicine”

Abstract

The Provost and the Dean of Research will organize the 3^rd symposium to facilitate interaction between OIST and Ryudai: University of the Ryukyus Faculty of Medicine. The theme for this time is " Medical Sciences: basic medical science to clinical medicine".  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.
