Greetings
When appointed to set up 84th annual meeting by Scoiety President, Dr.
Takahiko Suzuki, I was deeply honored and a little embarassed whether I could
manage the meeting. However, as things are going, I realized the JapaneseTissue Culture Society (JTCA) has firm hard- and softwares to support theholding of annual meeting. On publishing the Book of Abstracts, first of all, I
would like to express my deepest gratitude for persons who have devoted to givehands.
The opportunity that I became a member of JTCA was given by Dr. Toshiharu
Matsumura (current Honorary member). At that time, Dr. Matsumura wasforwarding the establishment of public human tissue bank and I joined hisproject. I learned the significance of research use of human materials and ethicalconsiderations from him. The experience influenced my later research life. Thepresent theme of the meeting, ‘Work on and Overcome Diseases’ is a message
derived from our human tissue bank work.
I hear that early JTCA members exchanged enthusiastically the information
about culture techniques to establish cell lines from surgically resected tumor
tissues. This original spirit is well taken over at present, shown as activities
such as Education and Research Committee, etc. Also each annual meeting
values the session of original papers. This time I do my best to keep the tradition.
I wish you all have an invaluable time at the meeting.
Best regards,
Shin Enosawa
Meeting president
