The 59th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Developmental Biologists

Important announcement

• On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all participants for attending the 59th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Developmental Biologists (JSDB).
  
  The meeting welcomed approximately 460 participants, including more than 14% from 13 countries. We are particularly grateful to our international colleagues, including members of the French Society for Developmental Biology and the Korean Society of Developmental Biology, whose participation greatly contributed to the success of the international exchange.
  
  Researchers from diverse fields?not only animal biology but also plant biology?gathered to engage in stimulating and productive discussions. The keynote lectures highlighted outstanding, cutting-edge research that integrates high-resolution cellular biology, genomics, and mathematical modeling.
  
  We believe that this meeting successfully brought together an international community of developmental biologists with diverse expertise and backgrounds, here in Hiroshima, a city that symbolizes peace and global collaboration.
  
  We very much look forward to seeing you again next year in Tokushima.

  大会組織委員会を代表して、日本発生生物学会（JSDB）第59回年次大会にご参加いただいたすべての参加者の皆様に、心より感謝申し上げます。
  
  本大会には約460名もの参加者が集まり、そのうち13カ国からの参加者が14％以上を占めました。とりわけフランス発生生物学会や韓国発生生物学会の会員をはじめとする海外からご参加の皆様には、国際交流の成功に大きく貢献していただいたことに心より感謝申し上げます。
  
  動物から植物まで様々な生物を研究する多様な分野の研究者が一堂に会し、刺激的かつ実り多い議論が交わされたと感じました。基調講演では、高解像度の細胞生物学、ゲノミクス、数理モデリングを統合した、卓越した最先端の研究をご紹介いただきました。
  
  平和と国際協力を象徴する広島において、多様な専門性と背景を持つ発生生物学者の国際的コミュニティを、本会議を通じて結集させることができたと確信しております。
  
  来年、徳島での再会を心より楽しみにしております。
