We invite leading researchers in basic medicine and life sciences in Japan to give lectures not only on their research topics, but also on their research philosophy, career paths, and related experiences. This seminar is organized primarily by early-career researchers at the institute and aims to promote the development of young researchers’ scientific and research capabilities.
