CiRA International Symposium 2012 to be held on February 23
The Center for iPS cell Research and Application (CiRA) , Kyoto Universityorganizes an international symposium both to promote the worldwide dissemination of its research results and to advance iPS cell research. All stem cell researchers and students are welcome to participate.
This symposium will be a scientific forum for researchers in the field. This symposium is funded by the Funding Program for the World-Leading Innovative R&D on Science and Technology (FIRST), Cabinet Offce, Government, Japan.
