Academic exchange at the Academia Sinica and National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan

Joe was invited to speak at the Institute of Physics (Academia Sinica) and the International Center for Wound Repair and Regeneration (NCKU). Great feedback on our ongoing work with exciting potential for future collaborations. Hope to be back soon!

Joe invited to speak at various conferences and universities in Apr and May

Joe was recently invited to speak at British Society for Cell Biology Annual Conference (UK), Hubrecht Institute (Netherlands), Paris Cite ́University (France), Collège de France (France), Reproductive Ageing Conference (USA) and MBI-Weizmann Institute joint symposium (Israel). It was also great catching up with old friends, mentors and collaborators!
