The first face-to-face workshop for the JSPS core to core program was held successfully last 2022 September 15 at Ehime University. Several participants from the Center for Marine Environmental Studies (CMES) and Proteo-Science center joined the workshop. Interesting topics were discussed by the invited speakers. Dr. Watanabe opened the symposium followed by the special lecture by Dr. Hann from National University of Singapore. Dr. Hann gave a glimpse of the projects from his laboratory one of which is on the recent advances in antiviral strategies against medically important positive-sense RNA viruses. Dr. Kuwata from Okayama University of Science gave an interesting talk about the status of mosquito-borne viruses in Ehime. Dr. Hirano from Nagasaki University shared his research on Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, which is BSL4 pathogen. Dr. Suzuki from Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University presented novel virus titration assays and screening for antivirals. From Ehime University, Dr. Takahashi and Dr. Suzuki shared their current studies on host-virus interactions. In summary, the symposium successfully presented diverse topics in virology paving the way for future collaborations.
