Information Exchange on Cancer Research with North American Countries.

这个研究项目是为了在日本和北美国家的高研究活动团体之间交换信息。本课题的研究领域如下：1。致癌基因research2。病毒Oncogenesis3。肿瘤促进和抑制作用根据该计划，1991 - 1993财政年度，共有49名日本科学家被派往美国和加拿大参加癌基因年会、癌细胞会议、Keystone专题讨论会、乳头状瘤病毒研讨会、艾滋病和HTLV年会、AACR专题会议、肺癌生物学研讨会、DNA肿瘤病毒会议、General Morters癌症基金会国际研讨会。参加真核生物DNA复制冷泉港会议、FASEB夏季学术会议、美国生物化学、分子生物学和免疫学学会联合会议等，并访问高校和研究机构进行信息交流。在远离发达国家的日本，科学家们感到了信息匮乏。正在进行或计划中的国际合作研究需要对实验安排进行热烈讨论。面对面的讨论也促进了研究资料的国际交流。因此，这项研究资助不仅对日本受资助人的研究发展作出了巨大贡献，而且对与他们接触的人的研究发展也作出了巨大贡献。该项目的个人成果已在科学期刊上发表，部分信息也在《生物科学新闻》上发表。

This research project is to exchange information between groups of high research activity in Japan and those in North American countries.The research fields of this project were as follows.1.Oncogene research2.Viral Oncogenesis3.Tumor promotion and suppression4.Diagnostic techniques and cancer therapyUnder this program from 1991 to 1993 fiscal year, total 49 Japanese scientists were sent to United State of America and Canada to attend Annual Meeting on oncogene, Cancer Cell meeting, Keystone Symposia, Papillomavirus Workshop, Annual Meeting on AIDS and HTLV, AACR Special Conferences, Workshop on Biology of Lung Cancer, DNA tumor virus meeting, General Morters Cancer Foundation International Symposium, Cold Spring Harbor Meeting on Eukaryotic DNA Replication, FASEB Summer Research Conference, The Joint-Meeting of American Societies of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Immunology, etc. and also visited universities and institutes to exchange information.Scientists in Japan, which is geologically remote from developed countries, feel informational retardation. International co-operative studies in progress or in planning, need lively discussions on experimental arrangements.Face-to-face discussions also facilitate international exchange of research materials. Therefore, this research grant contributed greatly not only for the development of the research of the Japanese grant recipients but also for the development of the research of those who came into touch with them.The individual results under this program have been published in scientific journals, and a part of the information were also published on the "Bioscience News".
