Brain Medical Science Collaboration Division
The 4th Joint Poster Presentation for Young Scientists
It is our pleasure to host this interactive poster presentation session and exchange of research among RIKEN CBS, The University of Tokyo, Juntendo University, Keio University, and the Institute of Science Tokyo.
We hope this program will be a great opportunity for young, up-and-coming scientists to interact with each other and get to know each other’s research, which could sow the seeds for future collaborations in neuroscience. Participants can enjoy discussions and networking with new colleagues.
The CBS lab visits will be held prior to the poster sessions, upon participants’ request.
This year, we’re also hosting a Lab Tour!
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to visit RIKEN’s Research Resources Division and other research labs that are usually not open to the public.You can freely choose which labs you’d like to visit—please check the registration form for the list of available labs.
Tour options include three core facilities at RIKEN CBS (RRD: Research Resources Division): the MRI Unit (Okada), the Electron Microscopy Unit (Saito), and the Biomolecular Analysis Unit (Miyasaka).
We look forward to your participation!
