NIBB will undertake an international research collaboration program with COS Heidelberg aimed at understanding the adaptation strategies of organisms to environments. In this program, researchers who belong to NIBB and COS Heidelberg will start a collaborative research program focusing on the mechanisms and evolution of light sensing in cnidarians. Dr. Annika Guse, who is analyzing the mechanisms and evolution of light sensing in cnidarians, visited NIBB from September 8th through 9th, 2019.
On this occasion, she gave a presentation entitled Molecular Mechanisms of Coral-algal Endosymbiosis, was able to strengthen her relationship with multiple NIBB researchers via academic discussion.
