The Special Symposium features distinguished speakers from around the world who are leading experts in their respective fields. Each speaker will present the latest research findings and future perspectives in their areas of specialization.

In this symposium, we will explore groundbreaking research on molecular machines that operate at the nanoscale to orchestrate life. Presentations will delve into the functional regulation of motor-driven intracellular transport, photosynthesis, sensory receptors, and protein complexes on chromatin. These innovative studies offer remarkable insights into the intricate machinery of life at the molecular level.

Understanding how cells acquire, maintain, and eventually lose their identity is fundamental to decoding the entire arc of life—from its inception to aging. In some contexts, cells also exhibit remarkable regenerative potential, allowing tissues to repair or renew themselves. This symposium brings together leading researchers who explore cell fate regulation across different biological systems, life stages, and regenerative processes, using a wide range of approaches.

Recent advances in basic research are rapidly narrowing the gap between fundamental science and clinical application. Increasingly, the development of effective therapeutic strategies depends on a deep understanding of core biological processes. In this symposium, leading researchers from diverse fields will present groundbreaking approaches that connect fundamental discoveries with translational impact.
