The 22nd IRCMS Symposium on Hematopoietic and Tissue Homeostatic Regulation from the Perspective of Vascular Biology, organized by Dr. Goro Sashida and Dr. Rieko Asai of IRCMS, Kumamoto University, was held on June 5th, 2024. As part of the JSPS Core-to-Core Program "Integrative approach for normal and leukemic stem cells," the symposium featured distinguished speakers, including Dr. Koh Gou Young from IBS/KAIST, Korea, and Dr. Yoshiaki Kubota from Keio University.

The symposium commenced with an opening address by Professor Sashida of IRCMS, followed by presentations from each speaker showcasing cutting-edge research projects. In Session II, researchers from IRCMS, including Mr. Kosasih, a student of the Takizawa Lab, delivered presentations.
