Scope
Kyoto University has established eleven ”on-site laboratories" in collaboration with its overseas partners. Each on-site laboratory, led by a particular unit within Kyoto University, has specific aims to promote research, education and academia-industry collaboration. Three of the on-site laboratories, which were established in collaboration with North American institutions have organized this joint symposium to stimulate advances in medical and life sciences. The three labs and the three focal themes of the symposium are detailed below.
iPS Cell Research Center at Gladstone Institutes, established in collaboration with Gladstone Institutes, San Francisco
Session 1: Stem cells and cell reprogrammingQuantum Nano Medicine Research Center, established in collaboration with University of California, Los Angeles
Session 2: Quantum science, nanomedicine, and radiation therapyKyoto University Research Center San Diego, established in collaboration with University of California, San Diego
Session 3: Cancer immunotherapy
