The 4th global COE retreat was held at Yatsugatake Royal Hotel, Kitamori, Tamanashi on March 5th to 6th. We had over 450 participants who were the members from thirteen labs of the graduate school of medicine, ten labs of the graduate school of science, six labs of the institute of molecular and cellular biosciences and also other research assistants of the graduate school of science and invited foreign researchers. They presented their research progress and discussed it with other participants.

This retreat began with the Special Lecture by Dr. Louis Reichardt from University of California, San Francisco and then had oral sessions and over 250 poster presentations. Especially in this year, we promoted the interaction with foreign researchers and invited speakers from UCSF and NIH which are our partner universities of GCOE International exchange program. On the 2nd day, the best poster presenters received the poster awards and gave short-talks. For 2 days, we had valuable opportunities to discuss our research interests and exchange with researchers whose research backgrounds were widely distinct from one another.
