Announcement of the 1st Kaketsuken Symposium

The KAKETSUKEN Symposium is a newly established academic conference created by KAKETSUKEN—an organization dedicated to supporting research in the fields of infectious diseases and hematology—as a forum for sharing the latest advancements in the life sciences.
It aims to provide an opportunity to engage with the insights of leading researchers, foster discussions that transcend disciplinary boundaries, and contribute to the creation of new knowledge.

For this inaugural symposium, the theme is “Infection, Cancer, and the Immune Response: An Integrated Understanding of Disease Pathology,” and we are honored to have leading researchers at the forefront of their respective fields deliver presentations.
This symposium will be held in a hybrid format, combining an in-person event at Kumamoto Castle Hall with a live webcast.
