[July 13] 7th J-PEAKS Equipment Utilization Briefing: Special Event—"HiSOR Introduction Seminar"
As a special event for the J-PEAKS Equipment Utilization Briefing, we will be holding a “HiSOR Introduction Seminar.”
In this seminar, we will introduce the world-class synchrotron Research Institute for Synchrotron Radiation Science research facilities at Research Institute for Synchrotron Radiation Science (HiSOR), highlighting research examples in the fields of medicine and drug discovery.
It provides easy-to-understand explanations even for life sciences and medical researchers who have never used synchrotron radiation, allowing them to learn how to apply it to their research.
