NAIST Global COE International Symposium 2009 Environmental Adaptation
NAIST Global COE International Symposium 2009 Environmental Adaptation
- Outline -
The global COE program "Frontier Bioscience Global Program: Adaptation- and Survival-strategies in a Changing Global Environment" has been started in NAIST 2007. We will have the 4th International symposium of the COE program in Nobember 12-13, 2009. The symposium will focus on the frontier in biology and international scientists will be giving talks in various fields of biology. You are cordially invited to participate in the symposium.
| Date | Nov. 12 - 13, 2009 |
| Venue | NAIST Millennium Hall Access Map Campus Map |
| Sponsor | NAIST Global COE program |
| Organizer | Hiroshi Takagi (NAIST), Kenji Kohno (NAIST) |
| Theme | "Environmental Adaptation" We will introduce research topics on ingenious molecular strategies of various organisms (bacterial, yeast, plant and mammalian cells) for survival and adaptation under environmental stress conditions including apoptotic cell death, strong light, increased ROS level, DNA damage and invasive species etc. to understand in depth both the common and disparate features between the organisms and discuss a global contribution in future biotechnology in terms of food, environmental and medical issues. |
| Language | Language used in this symposium is English. There will be no simultaneous interpretation. |
