In April 2025, the National Center for Global Health and Medicine (NCGM) merged with the National Institute of Infectious Diseases to form the Japan Institute of Health Security (JIHS). Following this transition, the forum was renamed and relaunched as the JIHS Global Infectious Diseases Forum (GIDF) .The 19th GIDF, we will explore microorganisms that cause cancer, highlighting the latest findings on cancer related to infectious diseases. Furthermore, by addressing the medical environment and challenges in Southeast Asia, the forum aims to spur interest in the developing new preventives, diagnostics, and therapeutics, as well as global clinical studies/trials, including approved products.
We look forward to your participation.
