Cell Bio 2023-a joint meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology and the European Molecular Biology Organization
開催地/Boston, MA, USA

期間/December 2 to 6, 2023

I had the privilege to participate in the 2023 ASCB/EMBO Cell Bio meeting held in Boston, Massachusetts, in the USA thanks to the support of the Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences. The Cell Bio conference stands as the premier meeting focusing on cell biology and emerging interdisciplinary topics tackling the cell as a fundamental unit of life. The conference was attended by academia and industry in various fields and provided an opportunity to present my findings on a recent academic collaboration I am leading.
The data I presented was titled (High Glucose Induces Alternative Splicing Changes in Primary Osteocytes with Minimal Transcriptional Alterations) which is a pivotal part of a larger collaborative project involving researchers from Tohoku University and Kyoto University on a multi omics analysis of bones in hyperglycemia and obesity who also attended the conference and presented at it. During my presentation, the attendees, particularly those vested in alternative splicing and post-transcriptional gene regulation, displayed significant interest in both the results and the methodologies employed. I received valuable feedback which not only affirmed the merit of our work but also provided insightful perspectives for its refinement.

Technology sessions in the meeting were exceptionally interesting as they addressed how academia and industry can go hand in hand in steering projects into providing societal impact that can accelerate solutions to global challenges which I learned a great deal from. A serendipitous encounter during these sessions led me to a member of The Buck Institute, my collaborators laboratory member whose lab focuses on proteomics in aging- a testament to the diversity of the meeting.
The event provided an avenue to connect with potential collaborators on a separate project I am leading on the profiling of bone proteome during metabolic disease progression. Overall, the meeting provided a fruitful and educational experience, and I would like to thank FRIS’s support that made my attending the conference and presenting at it possible.
