Amazing dinner with former Paul Frenette lab heroes — Drs. Yuya Kunisaki (Nature 2013), who pioneered whole-mount bone marrow 2D imaging & arteriole niche, and Noboru Asada (Nat Cell Biol 2017), who discovered perivascular cytokines. Both now lead as physician-scientists—such an inspiring reunion!

Had such an amazing time at the Presidential Dinner #JSH2025 in Kitano, Kobe! Wonderful chats and discussions with hematology/oncology colleagues, exquisite cuisine, and a stunning night view—plus, of course, delicious Kobe beef and whiskey!
