| Young Scientists Organizing
Nagasaki Symposium |
The International Symposium entitled “Young Scientists Organizing
Nagasaki Symposium” was held on March 7-8, 2005 at the Pompe
van Meerdervooft Hall in the Nagasaki University School of Medicine,
as part of the projects of 21st Century COE Program “International
Consortium for Medical Care of Hibakusha and Radiation Life Science”.
The number of participants amounted to 95, including 16 (10 abroad
and 6 domestic) invited speakers. The up-and-coming young scientists,
in the fields of Medical Care of Hibakusha, Radiation Epidemiology,
Regenerative Medicine, Radiation Biology, and Molecular Cellbiology,
presented their latest data and discussed on them.
The Symposium organized by young scientists, such as assistant
professors and graduate students of the committee members, was
a great success. It contributed to one of the projects of the COE
Program: educating young scientists as leaders of Radiation Life
Sciences in the next generation.
It will be expected to continue in the future to hold these symposiums
and workshops for the program in order to promote research with
top-level scientists in the world and to provide young scientists
with opportunities to expose them to international scientific communications.
