Innovative tools and methods have
played important roles in new frontiers.One important frontier in
life science is the single-cell related field. Although DNA
sequencers or other tools have provided SO manv valuable biological
data tO date,they were averages over ensemble of cells.Now many
peopte are interested in analyzing individual cells and signals
such as exomes to understand a whole life system.We need new tools
to analyze mRNA,proteins,and metabolites in single—cells as well as
in exomes quantitatively.TheY might give great impact on the
pharmaceutical,medical and biological fields.The collaborations
among researchers in various fields and various countries might
promote the development of the tools.The purpose of this meeting is
to promote the interdisciplinary and international collaborations
in this exciting frontier.
