New symposium series arranged by CIGENE

Marie Saitou and Guro Sandvik (CIGENE, NMBU) are arranging the Japan-Norway Symposium on Fish Endocrinology and Genomics. The aim of this symposium is to promote collaboration between Norwegian and Japanese research groups within the topics of fish genomics, gene editing, evolutionary genomics, biostatistics, microbiology, neuroendocrinology, sex determination system, stem cell technology, etc. This can be a great opportunity to make new connections with Japanese as well as Norwegian researchers.

The meeting is arranged and hosted by Dr. Marie Saitou and Dr. Guro Sandvik.

The poster illustration is created by Olga Paulouskaya and Gareth Gillard, CIGENE.
