(NTNU).

information and foster good relationships between top East Asian life science
researchers. Participating institutes host it in rotation. 7 institutions in
total were participated:
| The Institute of Medical Science, the University of Tokyo (IMSUT) Institute for Frontier Life and Medical Sciences, Kyoto University (IFLMS) Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University(OIST) Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Seoul National

A total of 12 researchers took part from IMSUT. The senior
researchers gave oral presentations of 15 minutes, while the young researchers supplemented
their posters with 5-minute short talks.
The presentations and short talks were all shorter than last time, on the
other hand, the time of the poster review sessions was longer, so the young
researchers could discuss issues with participants as much as they wanted.
Mr. Sadanori Miyoshi won the award for best poster presentation by
a member of IMSUT.
Next year, the symposium will be hosted by the Institute for Frontier Life
and Medical Sciences, Kyoto University (IFLMS).
