On July 22–23, 2025, the Medical Institute of Bioregulation held the 27th MIB Retreat to promote training and fellowship among all faculty members and graduate students. This year’s retreat took place at Mercure Saga Karatsu Resort, where 146 participants gathered for a one‑night, two‑day program. Across the two days, participants delivered 18 oral presentations and 29 poster presentations, each followed by lively question‑and‑answer sessions. To encourage active discussion, a Question Award was offered in every oral session, prompting enthusiastic engagement and deeper debate. During the awards ceremony on the morning of July 23, winners of the Oral Presentation, Poster Presentation, and Question awards were honored for their outstanding research and spirited discussions. In the afternoon, over 80 participants headed to the Karatsu City Kitahata Gymnasium for a dodgeball tournament designed to boost camaraderie; the lively matches generated great excitement throughout the venue.
