Visiters from Seoul Univ. and the 129th BRC SEMINAR (Jul. 2015)
Prof. Byeong Chun Lee, Prof. Junpei Kimura, and two researchers from Seoul University, Korea, came to our laboratory to see our mouse cloning experiment.
Prof. Lee kindly gave us a lecture on dog cloning at the BRC seminar. He first
succeeded in cloning dog (Nature 2005) and has been one of the top scientists
in the field of dog and pig cloning.

Mouse Genome Editing Workshop (Mar. 2015)
On March 17th, Mouse Genome Editing Workshop (conjunction with 125th BRC Seminar) was held at Moriwaki Kazuo Hall.
The event consisted of nine lectures on the topic, including three guest speakers (see below) and six speakers from RIKEN branches/centers.
We also enjoyed a post workshop party making discussions on topics related to the genome editing for mice. Over 80 people participated the event, reflecting the high interest in this technology.
