It is our great pleasure to announce that the 21st Annual and International Meeting of Japanese Association for Animal Cell Technology (JAACT 2008) will be held at Fukuoka International Congress Center in Fukuoka, Japan, on November 24-27, 2008. This meeting will focus on recent advancements in the field of animal cell technology including both basic and applied aspects. We invite academic and industrial scientists from all over the world to make the JAACT 2008 truly successful and scientifically fruitful. Fukuoka is one of the oldest cities in Japan, located in the northern shore of the island of Kyushu in Japan. The city has been serving as a gateway to import Asian culture from the ancient periods because of the geographical advantage of being close to Korea and China. Dazaifu, an administrative capital in 663 A.D. is located near Fukuoka. The oldest and most modern city in Japan waits for your visit.

Sincerely yours,
Masamichi Kamihira, Ph.D.
Chairperson of JAACT2008
