Symposium concludes

The third Symposium between LIMES, University of Bonn and ASMeW, Waseda University was held at University of Bonn in Germany. The symposium was attended by researchers from life science and bioinformatics fields including Prof. Cremers, Dean of the School of Natural Sciences, Prof. Hoch, Director of Life and Medical Science (LIMES) Institute, Prof. Bajorath, Director of Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology (B-IT), as well as eight researchers from ASMeW headed by Prof. Osaka. At the symposium, each organization nominated candidate researchers in nine research areas and agreed to consider the possibility of joint projects by selecting appropriate researchers in order to promote joint research projects targeting conference papers and publications.
