The event concluded with remarks from Professor Hisashi Motomura, Chair of the International Affairs Committee of the Graduate School of Medicine. “Coming together in this way always provides us with a valuable opportunity to delve into research topics that might otherwise remain beyond our personal interests. I am hopeful that we can sustain these meetings in the future, fostering ongoing collaboration and knowledge exchange,” he emphasized.
