Sake and Science 2025
An exciting day of scientific presentations and sake tasting
Join us for “Sake & Science: Advances in multiomics for biomarker discovery” at Takara Bio USA headquarters in San Jose, CA, on June 5, 2025, from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Reserve your spot; limited space is available! Can’t attend the symposium? Join the online component from 10:00 am–12:00 pm PDT.
This event blends the elegance of Japanese tradition with cutting-edge scientific innovation, promising an experience that will both delight your senses and expand your knowledge.
At the symposium, sip on world-famous Takara sake and enjoy sushi and small bites while learning about new approaches that capture unique insights into cellular function and dysfunction. Attend spotlight talks and join a panel discussion with our distinguished guest speakers, who will share their groundbreaking research on cellular signatures in heart failure, the spatiotemporal evolution of cancer, novel RNA liquid biopsy technology, and other fascinating topics.
Want to showcase your research on biomarker discovery and multiomics during the poster session? Please submit your abstract by May 23, 2025.
