学術変革領域研究(A)：生体秩序力学

For those interested in applying for publicly-offered projects in our Transformative (A) project, we will be organizing a briefing session via Zoom at 4PM on 5th Aug (Mon) to explain the overall research direction. Please register in advance at our HP. multicellular-mechanics.org

学術変革領域 (A) 「力が制御する生体秩序の創発」の第二期公募研究の募集です。8月5日（月）午後4時よりオンラインで説明会を開催し、領域代表の茂木が研究方向性について説明し、参加者の皆様からの質問にお答えします。参加希望の方は、領域HPより事前にお申し込み下さい。multicellular-mechanics.org

The symposium was a great success, with lively discussions about ongoing projects and future collaboration. We hope to continue such a stimulating symposium in the years to come. #MechanoBioKyoto
