Dear colleagues,I hope this letter finds you well. I would like to take this opportunity to express mysincere gratitude for your exceptional consideration and support for the Society.
The th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society of Japan will be held for threedays, from Tuesday, September
th to Thursday theth,, at the Seagaia
Convention Center in Miyazaki Prefecture. We are now earnestly engaged in makingthe necessary preparations. At this Annual Meeting, approximately ,researchers
from institutions including universities as well as national, public, and private
research institutions from across Japan will gather for presentations and discussions.
While the research undertaken by the Society's members can vary greatly in terms of
its subjects and methods, the recent developments in molecular biologicalapproaches, optical measuring technology, and computing devices that are designed
for use with large volumes of data have led to a significant move away from analyses
that focus on groupings of molecules, toward the practice of directly observing andstudying single molecules. In particular, many of our members are involved in thedevelopment of measurement systems for applications that demand a high degree ofprecision.
The Biophysical Society of Japan works to promote the elucidation of the manyand varied biological functions and phenomena that occur at every level—from themolecular to the supramolecular, in cells, organs, individual living things, andecosystems—through the application of the experimental methods and theories ofphysics and engineering. In order to support the growth of this research, the Society
facilitates exchanges and interactions between researchers and engineers. It iswidely expected that the development of measurement technology for biological
functions and phenomena and the further clarification of the basic mechanisms
behind biological functions will deliver benefits that go beyond the academic
significance that comes from solving the mysteries of life, making contributions thathave a society-wide impact through a range of practical fields, from advanced healthcare, nanotechnology, and the development of new medicines, to the conservation of
the natural environment.
With Miyazaki acting as a magnificent backdrop, our upcoming Annual Meeting will
have a "festival" concept. Our goals are to provide a forum in which researchers,students, businesses, and members of the public, regardless of age, gender, ornationality, can have profound exchanges, and to facilitate science that is byparticipants, for participants. We have scheduled segments that will, among otherthings, bring the exhibition that is a part of our Annual Meeting to the next level. As
one example of our efforts in this regard, we have set aside time before and after thesymposia and workshops, in which our exhibitor companies can provide attendees
with information on their exhibits, such as by giving talks.
To that end, we at the Biophysical Society of Japan humbly ask once more for yoursupport. We have entrusted the administrative work relating to our partners'
contributions to the Annual Meeting, including the exhibition, to A&E Planning Co.,
Ltd. We kindly ask that you direct any inquiries or requests to A&E Planning.
Sincerely,
Takeharu Nagai (Osaka University)
