Visiting Northwestern University in Chicago (2024 9/30-10/2)

Aki Takeuchi was honored to be invited to Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois, USA, by Dr. G. R. Scott Budinger and Dr. Thomas Stoeger from September 30 to October 2. Feinberg School of Medicine is known to offer an environment that blends rigorous academics with innovative research, and clinical excellence. During his visit, he gave a lecture and had meetings with esteemed scientists to discuss and exchange information on aging and aging-related diseases. We deeply appreciate the wonderful opportunity that was given to us.
