UC San Diego and LINK-J have co-hosted a series of seminars inviting top UCSD researchers to Japan every year.
This year, instead, we will be holding a series of joint webinars with top researchers from both UCSD and Japanese universities.
The second in a series of joint webinars, we will invite Professor Andrew McCulloch from UCSD and Professor Hideyuki Okano from Keio University as moderators to discuss the latest trends in regenerative medicine and computational neurobiology. (Session1: Regenerative Medicine/ Session2: Computational Neurobiology)
In this Session 1, Professor Lawrence S. B. Goldstein from UC San Diego and Professor Masaya Nakamura from Keio University will introduce the latest prospects in the field of regenerative medicine.
