2SIA The third Japan-U.S. symposium on motor proteins and associated single-molecule biophysics

Wed. Nov 15, 2023 8:50 AM - 11:20 AM Room I (International Conference Room (Bldg. 3, 3F))

Organizers: Shima Tomohiro (The Univ. of Tokyo)、Hayashi Kumiko (The Univ. of Tokyo)

This is a series of motor protein symposia, starting in 2021, that will bring together researchers from Japan and the U.S.-two leading countries in the field- to foster the exchange of ideas and promote cutting-edge collaborative research. With a lineup of renowned experts in the field, this symposium provides an exceptional opportunity to present the latest advances in our understanding of motor protein movement and regulation. This time, we are especially featuring international young scientists as speakers who are also willing to contribute to the educational programs of IUPAB2024. In addition, the symposium will promote gender equality by providing an opportunity for discussion as part of the introduction of the speakers.

9:15 AM - 9:40 AM
