Neural Models of Cell Signaling,Proliferation and Differentiation |
| |
| On 7th October, JSPS's London Office and the University of Cambridge sponsored a small ?scale seminar titled "Neural Models of Cell Signalling, Proliferation and Differentiation." Held at Pembroke College, the seminar was organized by a Cambridge research group led by Prof. William A. Harris of the university's Department of Anatomy. From Japan, life science research groups from Akita and Kumamoto Universities were invited to participate in the seminar. These two universities have received grants under the 21st Century COE Programme to establish research hubs within their life science graduate departments, and carry out cutting edge research of a high global standard. |
| |
| The seminar began with introductions of the research work being pursued at Akita and Kumamoto Universities delivered by the leaders of the two groups: Prof. Nobuya Inagaki and Prof. Tetsuya Taga. The body of the seminar comprised three successive sessions on "Early Neural Induction," "Stem Cells and Cell Determination," and "Cell Signalling." Each featured presentations from leading researchers of the three universities, followed by probing discussions and a vigorous exchanges on the current progress, research issues and future direction of each group's work on the subject. |
| |
| This programme has been hugely successful and a number of highly distinguished Professors such as Professor Salvador Moncada, Professor David Thomas and Professor Steve Humphries from the University College London have participated in the event. The event has proved so popular that a new series of small scale seminars is now being arranged for 2004. |
