Room 12(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 4F, 416+417)
Organizer: Takahiro Nobukuni (Tohoku University), Yu-ichi Goto (National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry)
To develop the cure for diseases it is critical to prove the concept derived from laboratory animals by using human specimens. To that end large-scale biobanks have been founded which accumulate and provide human biospecimen and information as well as analytical data such as genome sequences. By presenting cutting-edge projects that made use of these resources, we aim to widen the application of molecular studies to clinical settings.
