Welcome address

  On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we warmly invite you to join us in Yokohama on 19^th to 22^nd May 2011 at the Navios Yokohama for the Joint Meeting of the XVII^th International Symposium on Gnotobiology (ISG) and the XXXIV^th Congress of the Society for Microbial Ecology and Disease (SOMED).

   It is our hope that the joint meeting delivers the opportunity to develop our understanding of the complexity of microbial ecology and diseases, and to expand the knowledge from the bench to the clinics for accurate diagnosis and better treatment.  

   Our four days of symposia, seminars and free papers will cover recent developments in basic microbiological research and clinical studies mainly in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It provides a unique opportunity for each of us to exchange information, enter into dialogue and become better connected with other people across the world and the different fields of science. 

   Yokohama is not only a beautiful port city with many tourist spots, historical atmosphere and international flavor, but also represents the foundation of the modern Japanese culture in the 19^th century.

   Navios Yokohama, the venue of the meeting, is located at the Minato Mirai area facing to the Yokohama Bay to the south. China Town, Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse (Aka-renga Soko), Yokohama Landmark Tower and Yokohama Bay Bridge are all within walking distance.   

   We are looking forwards to welcoming you to Yokohama in May 2011 for the ISG/SOMED joint meeting.
