A workshop for the "Research Support Program for Combined Research Fields" was held on September 27-28. This workshop was held in English.

We are aiming for development in the Immunology field by combining three different "i"s; Immunology, Imaging, Informatics. To this end, new program called "Research Support Program for Combined Research Fields" has been launched in November 2009.

*This workshop was open to IFReC members only .
