The 16th Japan Flagella Meeting









Welcome to the web site for the 16th Japan Flagella Meeting. This is an annual meeting where researchers working in the field of flagella get together and enjoy discussions. Topics are wide open to everybody who interested in flagella: motility, signal transduction, gene expression and regulation, assembly and structure, etc. Participants are from senior researchers to young students, including oversea countries. This year meeting will be held at Gamagori, Aichi, the seaside hot spring resort near Nagoya in March. Detail of upcoming meeting is described below.
