The Wnt meeting in Japan 2023 was held in RIKEN BDR on December 9th, 2023. It was my great honor to participate in the meeting and presented my research in front of outstanding Wnt researchers in Japan. I really enjoyed the meeting since all the presentations were interesting and in high quality.
It was an amazing experience for me to hear different Wnt studies in one day, ranging from structure and molecular biology to developmental biology and clinical cancer biology. In addition, a large variety of model were utilized including cell culture, organoid, worms, insects, fish, frogs, chicken, mouse, and human patient samples. The high diversity of Wnt studies broadened my horizons a lot.
The organization was carefully organized and arranged to make me feel the atmosphere and enthusiasm of the meeting. Although the scale was not large, it was very easy for all the participants to discuss and exchange opinions together. It was a nice opportunity for me to communicate with different Wnt researchers, from graduate students to world-famous professors. I learned a lot and got precious advice from other Wnt researchers. Even if all the participants have different background, the enthusiasm towards science just brought us together.
Finally, I would like to appreciate JSDB and Kumamoto University for providing us such a good opportunity. And thank to all the organizing members and their efforts.
