IPR×RIKEN BDR Symposium 2024

Decoding Life’s Complexity: Bridging Molecules to Cells

RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research and the Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University are engaged in comprehensive collaboration on joint research and the training of young researchers in the field of data-driven bioscience, which has made remarkable progress in recent years. As part of these efforts, the first joint symposium on biological data-driven research, including protein 3D structures and higher-level intracellular structure-function relationships, was held in 2023 to promote exchanges among researchers and to explore the seeds of collaborative research. The second symposium will be held at the RIKEN Yokohama Campus in 2024.
