The Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) at Nagoya University in Japan, will be holding "The 4th International Symposium on Transformative Bio-Molecules (ISTbM-4)" on December 12-13, 2016 at the Noyori Conference Hall in Nagoya University. This international symposium brings together speakers who are world-class scientists in the fields of biology, chemistry, and theoretical sciences. In conjunction with ISTbM-4, award lectures from the 12th Hirata Award Winner, Professor Emily P. Balskus of Harvard University (USA), and the 2nd Tsuneko and Reiji Okazaki Award Winner, Professor Yukiko M. Yamashita of the University of Michigan and HHMI (USA) will also be delivered.

About WPI-ITbM
The Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) at Nagoya University in Japan is committed to advance the integration of synthetic chemistry, plant/animal biology and theoretical science, all of which are traditionally strong fields in the university. ITbM is one of the research centers of the Japanese MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) program, the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI). The aim of ITbM is to develop transformative bio-molecules, innovative functional molecules capable of bringing about fundamental change to biological science and technology. Research at ITbM is carried out in a "Mix-Lab" style, where international young researchers from various fields work together side-by-side in the same lab, enabling interdisciplinary interaction. Through these endeavors, ITbM will create "transformative bio-molecules" that will dramatically change the way of research in chemistry, biology and other related fields to solve urgent problems, such as environmental issues, food production and medical technology that have a significant impact on the society.
