Welcome Messages
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to inform you that JSDB will hold a joint meeting with the Asia-Pacific Developmental Biology Network (APDBN) in Kyoto on June 20-23, 2010.
In developing the meeting proposal, the program committee analyzed programs of past JSDB meetings and other conferences on developmental biology, and discussed current trends and future directions of developmental biology. Our policy for the 2010 meeting has been to highlight the following:
| 1. | Acquisition of function, homeostasis, and regeneration of organs |
| 2. | Multidisciplinary approaches, including mathematical sciences and engineering |
| 3. | Expanding perspectives among developmental biologists toward medical science (e.g., regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and congenital pathologies), agriculture, and connections to the global environment. |
And, while we are honoring recent discoveries that have been made with the help of conventional embryological and molecular approaches, as well as concepts established in the past, we continue to be forward looking and driven to push the boundaries of a whole spectrum of scientific fields focused on the phenomena of life.
Since 2008, the official language of the JSDB annual meeting is English, and many researchers from other countries, the Asia-Pacific region in particular, have come to participate. We expect an attendance of about 800 people from more than 10 countries at this JSDB-APDBN meeting. This meeting is therefore expected to become a very important international forum for discussing the latest results in developmental biology. To encourage the participation of young researchers from the Asia-Pacific region, a number of travel fellowships to the annual meeting will be provided by the JSDB.
Look forward to seeing you at Kyoto!
With best regards,
Tadashi Uemura
Organizer of the 2010 JSDB-APDBN meeting
