We are pleased to announce that the 28th CDB Meeting will be held as follows:
Title: The 28th CDB Meeting "Cilia and Centrosomes: Current Advances and Future Directions" Date: November 27 (Sun.) - 29 (Tue.), 2016 Venue: RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology, Kobe, Japan Application and Abstract submission deadline: Friday, September 30, 2016 (Japan time) Participation fee: Free Lunch fee (Nov. 28, Optional): 1,000 JPY Banquet fee (Nov. 27, Optional): 3,000 JPY URL: http://www.cdb.riken.jp/cilia/2016/index.html
Cilia form an apparatus that plays critical roles in the transmission of cell-to-cell signals and motility. The centrosome is a key organelle in mitosis; both cilia and the centrosome are constructed by the same complex: the centriole (basal body). In this MEXT-Cilia Club-CDB joint symposium, we seek to coordinate exchanges on cutting-edge research by prominent international scientists and the achievements of the MEXT group over a 5-year period, and to promote discussion of future directions in studies on cilia and centrosomes. The program will include both oral and poster sessions. A small number of poster abstracts will be selected by the organizing committee for oral presentations. We would be delighted to have your participation at the 28th CDB Meeting.
Sincerely, Masahide Kikkawa (The University of Tokyo, Japan) Fumio Matsuzaki (RIKEN CDB, Japan)
This meeting is co-hosted by cilia club and Grant-in-aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) "Cilium-centrosome system regulating biosignal flows". -------------------------- Contact: CDB Meeting Office RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology (CDB) Office for Research Communications 2-2-3, Minatojima-minamimachi, Chuo-ku, Kobe 650-0047, Japan E-MAIL: cilia2016@cdb.riken.jp
