Notice for CMX Retreat “Wakate Dojo”

画像

　We are pleased to announce that Retreat “Wakate Dojo”, which is dedicated to young researchers, will be held from October 10 (Thu) to October 11 (Fri), 2024, as a special event of the Center for Medical Transformation (CMX) of the Graduate School of Medicine. The Retreat started in FY2018 as a new initiative of the Center for Cell Signaling and Medical Innovation, CMX’s predecessor, and has been held annually. Thanks to your positive feedback, this year’s Retreat has also been decided to be held. Moving forward to the post-COVID-19 era for full-scale research activities, we plan the Retreat onsite at the Awaji Yumebutai International Conference Center in Awaji City, Hyogo.

　　The Retreat is designed to be a unique platform for young faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduate students across various fields to learn about each other's research and to foster strong horizontal ties, paving the way for future collaborations. Similar to the last year, we have crafted a relaxed program that allows ample time for free interaction, ensuring a rich learning and networking experience for all participants.

　　This year, we have invited Dr. Hiroshi Ohno (Vice Director at RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) and Team Leader of Laboratory for Intestinal Ecosystem), who is at the forefront of research on the intestinal immune system and the interaction between the intestinal microflora and the host, and Dr. Akira Kikuchi (Professor of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine), who is at the forefront of research on the regulation of cell functions by Wnt signaling and the pathology of inflammation and cancer caused by abnormalities in these functions, to give special lectures. We will also have time to interact with the special lecturers, so this will be a good opportunity to discuss various topics, from research to career paths.

　　We hope that many young researchers will deepen exchanges with each other. We look forward to seeing you all at Retreat “Wakate Dojo”.
