Starting from 2019FY, NIBB will be entering into an international research collaboration program with COS Heidelberg aimed at understanding the adaptation strategies of organisms to environments. Prior to its commencement, the Director of COS, Prof. Jan Lohmann visited NIBB from May 21st through 22nd, 2019 to discuss upcoming international collaborative research projects and international cooperation between both institutes with NIBB Director General, Dr. Kiyokazu Agata, and Vice-Director General, Dr. Naoto Ueno.
Prof. Lohmann introduced COS and presented his research entitled ‘Signal Integration in Plant Stem Cells’ to NIBB researchers and graduate students.
In addition, he toured the NIBB facilities while trading opinions with fellow researchers. This in turn contributed to a closer relationship with our institutions.
