50周年記念シンポジウム 「日本免疫学会 - これまでの50年、これからの50年」 *in Japanese
The 50th anniversary commemoration symposium (English translation available)
The Japanese Society for Immunology marked its 50th anniversary of establishment in 2020.
The 50th anniversary symposium will be held as one of commemorative events. Researchers who have been active at the front line of this field since the early days of the society up to the present date, will give lectures regarding the history of Immunology and messages to young researchers for next 50 years.
This symposium will be held at “Noh Theatre”, the traditional Japanese Noh drama theater. After the symposium, the new piece of Noh drama written by the late Dr. Tomio Tada will be performed.

This symposium will be held at “Noh Theatre”, the traditional Japanese Noh drama theater. After the symposium, we will hold a “Kagami-Biraki” ceremony celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Japanese Society for Immunology and all on-site attendees are invited to the ceremony. We will take all necessary measures to prevent infection to hold the ceremony and would like to ask for attendees’ cooperation in preventing the spread of infection.
After the ceremony, the new piece of Noh drama written by the late Dr. Tomio Tada will be performed.
This Noh play is a warning for us by late Dr. Tomio Tada. This play is composed by Tada's modern Noh work “ISSEKI SENNIN(means Albert Einstein)” and traditional Kyogen.
We look forward to your participation to the 50th anniversary symposium and hope you will enjoy Kagami-Biraki ceremony and Noh drama.

Young Academy Program/免疫若手アカデミー提案プログラム
臨床医が必要とする免疫学 - 基礎免疫学からワクチン応用へ -
2019年より始まったCOVID-19の世界的な流行により、国民の日常生活は大きな打撃を受けており、感染応答やワクチンに対する関心は非常に高まっています。実際にワクチン接種・開発が国内外で進んでいく中で、基礎研究者だけではなく臨床医にとっても正しい免疫学的な知識を持って診療にあたる必要が生じています。そこで、今期学会において、免疫若手アカデミーからは「臨床医が必要とする免疫学」と銘打ち、基礎的な免疫学と共に臨床に必要なCOVID-19の知識やワクチンの現状について、免疫学の専門家による分かりやすい内容での講義を開催します。
自然免疫・獲得免疫応答を含む免疫学の基礎的な内容については理化学研究所・小安重夫先生が、RNAワクチンや最近のワクチン開発の現状および動向については東京大学・医科学研究所・石井健先生により、初めて免疫学について学ぶ人にも分かりやすい内容でそれぞれ35分間の講義をして頂き、その後5分の質疑応答を行います。
（*本プログラムは日本語で行われる予定です。）
Immunology lecture for clinicians - from basic science to vaccine applications -
More people are interested in infectious response and vaccine development since the global pandemic of COVID-19 has changed our lifestyle dramatically. Indeed, vaccines and their development are remarkably progressing worldwide. Clinicians and researchers both need to have basic knowledge of immunology in the clinical care of COVID-19 patients. Even their area of expertise is far from immunology. Thus, in the 50th Annual meeting of JSI, young immunologists planed the lecture course to learn about basic immunology as a basis for the immune surveillance system of infectious diseases. This lecture course consists of two parts: 1) basic immunology including innate and adaptive immunity by Dr. Shigeo Koyasu from RIKEN, IMS, 2) recent vaccine development and mRNA vaccine by Dr. Ken J. Ishii from Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo. Each talk will be provided for 35 min lecture and for 5 min Q&A.
(*Lectures will be presented in Japanese)
Sponsored Seminars
There will be three types of sponsored seminars: Technical Seminars, Clinical Seminars and Afternoon Seminars.
Technical and Clinical seminars will be held in the form of luncheon seminars. Please refer to here for more information regarding Luncheon seminars.
Language of each seminar can be found on “At a Glance” of the program page of our website.
Those seminars aim to promote interaction between basic research, application research and development research through introducing experimental methods with latest life science related regents, technologies, machines and equipment, or latest equipment for researching allergy, immunological diseases, cancer, and infectious disease.
Those seminars aim to introduce developments of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of immunological and infectious diseases caused by pharmaceutical and biological products.
These seminars aim to build a platform of development of immunologists who will be engaged in the next generation through close cooperation with companies. Companies add fresh dimensions to seminars by their unique idea.
