Senior Editor Zoltan Fehervari @nature.com recently stopped by CCII to discuss scientific publishing, some of its myths & legends, and what makes for a "good" paper. #ScientificPublishing #Immunology #Immunotherapy www.ccii.med.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/events/

CCII's Sidonia Fagarasan & Kenji Chamoto recently discussed recent advances in tumor #metabolism & #immunity at the 2nd @csisingapore.bsky.social – Kyoto University Joint Symposium. www.ccii.med.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/2025/11/2...

Participants emerge from the conference room into the bright sunlight of Naoshima Island in CCII's first international symposium on Cancer, Metabolism, and Immunity. CCII sponsored this small, intimate meeting where participants freely shared and discussed ideas & data in a beautiful setting.

Prof Tasuku Honjo is now the Director of CCII, our new center in Kyoto University, dedicated to deciphering anti-tumor immunity and discovering the next generation of cancer immunotherapies. www.ccii.med.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/

It now greets visitors at CCII's main entrance hall, in our BMS building designed by Tadao Ando. To learn more about research, events, and opportunities at the Center for Cancer Immunotherapy and Immunobiology, follow the link below 👇 www.ccii.med.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/

The CCII community has received a wonderful gift from master ceramicist, Mr. Koji Kamada The Tenmoku Bowl generously donated by the artists is currently on display in the main entrance hall of our BMS building in Kyoto. kogei.kyoto/artists/kama...

It was great having you here with us for your maiden voyage, Caroline. We hope the symposium lived up to your expectations!
