[2AS-17]【E】Trans-Scale Biology: Exploring New Frontiers with Novel Model Organisms

Thu. Dec 4, 2025 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM JST
Thu. Dec 4, 2025 12:00 AM - 2:00 AM UTC
Room 17(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 5F, 503)
Organizer: Shuji Shigenobu (National Institute for Basic Biology), Akiko Satake (Kyushu University)
Recent advances, such as genome editing, sequencing, omics, and imaging, have enabled biologists to explore life science at multiple scales—from molecules and cells to organs, individuals, and ecosystems— through an approach termed as "Trans-Scale Biology." This approach now extends to the use of non-traditional model organisms.This symposium aims to promote the exchange of ideas and discoveries across species and research disciplines, highlighting the potential of Trans-Scale Biology.
