FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS CONFERENCE
US Sponsors:
National Institutes of Health
Department of State
Princeton University
Japanese Sponsors:
Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare
Ministry of Education, Science, Sports, and Culture
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
On Monday, July 23, 2001, the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics of Princeton University will host the Functional Genomics Conference of the
US-Japan Cooperative Medical Sciences Program (CMSP).
The conference will feature leading genomics researchers from the USA and Japan who will present the most exciting recent advances in the field and identify future
research opportunities. The Conference will convene in the J.R. Reynolds Conference Room in the McDonnell Building on the main Princeton University Campus.
There is no registration fee, but because space is limited interested individuals
are requested to register in advance.
Free parking will be provided on campus for pre-registered participants.
US-JAPAN Cooperative Medical Sciences Program
Now in its 37th year, the US-Japan CMSP is the oldest bilateral program between the USA and Japan.
The CMSP is unique in two respects: 1) Priority disease and research areas are determined by their importance to the
Pacific Basin rather than the USA or Japan; and 2) Panels of imminent scientists from both countries in priority disease areas and eminent US and Japanese scientists on the US and Japanese Committees provide information and advice to the leadership in both countries on priority setting and resource allocation in research. For the past several years, the US-Japan CMSP has taken advantage its Joint Committee Meeting to convene a scientific conference to provide members with information on particularly dynamic and important areas of science.
The Functional Genomics Conference will be the latest of these events and the first held outside Washington, DC or Tokyo, Japan.
