Invitation

Dear Colleagues

It is our great pleasure to announce that the 23rd Annual and International
Meeting of Japanese Association for Animal Cell Technology (JAACT2010)
will be held at Hokkaido University Conference Hall in Sapporo in Hokkaido, Japan,
on September1- 4, 2010. The slogan is “Animal Cell Technology from Asia to
World” and there will be a special symposium by researchers in Asian
countries. This meeting will focus on animal cell technology concerning health care,
foods, pharmaceuticals production, regenerative medicine, and so on. We invite
academic and industrial scientists from all over the world to make the JAACT2010
truly successful and scientifically fruitful.

Hokkaido is the northern most island in Japan and abundant in wild nature, flowers,
and greenery. Located on almost the same latitude as Milan in Italy, Toronto in
Canada and Marseile in France, the capital of Hokkaido, Sapporo, has the same
daylight hours as these cities. Sapporo is a young city where the Ainu, a people
indigenous to Japan, used to live. Western culture was introduced from the very
outside of land reclamation during the Meiji era. It has developed into the nation's
fifth largest city. Portland in the U.S., Munich in Germany, Shenyang in China and
Novosibirsk in Russia are its sister cities. Sapporo and Hokkaido wait for your visit.

Sincerely yours,
Mutsumi Takagi, Ph.D.
Chairperson of JAACT2010
