Had a wonderful visit to Kobe Univ, Faculty of Medicine—so fun catching up with Dr. Yoshio Katayama (first postdoc of Dr. Paul Frenette) about his time at Sinai, and so impressed by X-ray/Cryo EMs and cutting-edge imaging at Nitta lab! Thanks Yoshio, Eriko & Ryo—a perfect warm-up for #JSH2025 Kobe!
