The joint symposium was attended by a total of 102 researchers from Kobe University and RIKEN BDR, and these participants were larger than those of the previous symposium.　Nine oral presentations were given, including four by young researchers and four by women researchers.

Specifically, we asked Dr. Chisako Sakuma and Dr. Asami Oaza from RIKEN BDR to make presentations as young researchers, and Dr. Masayuki Oginuma and Dr. Shuichi Onami as PIs. In addition, we asked Dr. Tomoko Horinouchi and Dr. Satomi Komori from Kobe University to make presentations as young researchers, and Dr.Masakazu Shinohara and Dr. Junichi Kikuta as PIs. Finally, we asked Dr. Masamichi Muramatsu from the Institute of Biomedical Research and Innovation to make a presentation as PI.

PROGRAM

There were totally 45 poster presentations (19 from RIKEN BRD and 26 from Kobe University), and actively discussed to each other. The number of poster presentations was also higher than that of the previous symposium.

We were able to have a first reception after the coronavirus epidemic has subsided. The symposium might become a good opportunity for face-to-face exchanges and is expected to promote further research exchanges between Kobe University, RIKEN BDR, and the Institute of Biomedical Research and Innovation in the future.
