Event Information:
Prof. Masatoshi Hagiwara, Professor of Kyoto University School of Medicine and Director of UC San Diego On-Site Lab, Kyoto University, gave a lecture on "Kyoto University's International Expansion and International Clinical Trials Using On-Site Labs".
Comment:
Many new participants came through word of mouth, and there was a lot of interaction with the speakers. It was a very enjoyable and rewarding meeting because we could feel SING's strength, "connecting with new people," up close and personal. Beyond the coronavirus disaster, we were able to meet many people in person, and it is exciting to think that it will be possible to connect with many different people through this SING meeting in the future.
