Our Grant Area Co-hosts the “EMBO–MBSJ Laboratory Leadership Forum 2026 in Tokyo” on June 27

The EMBO–MBSJ Laboratory Leadership Forum 2026 in Tokyo will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at the Yushima Campus of the Institute of Science Tokyo.

Supported by the Molecular Biology Society of Japan (MBSJ) and EMBO, this forum provides an opportunity to learn about key aspects of laboratory leadership, mentoring, and the development of early-career researchers. Through lectures and small-group discussions, the program is designed primarily for young researchers aiming to become independent PIs, as well as those who have recently started their own laboratories.

Our grant area is pleased to support this event as a co-host. We encourage not only members of our research area, but also researchers in related fields, especially early-career scientists, to consider participating.
