The 20th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for the Research of Hepatic Cells (20th JSRH) will take place at the Osaka International Convention Center on September 26 and 27, 2013.

Commemorating the 20th occasion, the Society will collaborate with the 17th International Symposium on Cells of the Hepatic Sinusoid (17th ISCHS) and the 27th Annual Meeting of Hepatic Sinusoidal Research Japan (27th HSRJ) under the banner of “Japan Liver Cell Week,” which will run from September 23 to 27. Preparations for the Annual Meeting have followed the Society’s traditions of the past 20 years: renowned researchers have been invited from Japan and overseas, and the schedule of events is replete. We extend our gratitude to everyone who made submissions to our topics.

The format of this year’s Annual Meeting arranges keynote lectures from invited speakers and workshops on selected topics. There will also be a large number of outstanding poster presentations. The special lecture, three luncheon seminars, and one evening seminar round out two days of rewarding content.

We hope you will take this opportunity to join the conversation about the deep mysteries of the liver, and to foster good relations within this field!
