What is Asian Forum on Chronobiology

Asian Forum on Chronobiology in 2015 is aimed to assemble outstanding chronobiologists from Asian countries, and to exchange information and ideas on biological rhythm researches for future collaborations. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt for the Asian scientists in this field to get-together. Fortunately, we were able to constitute the organizing committee consisting of leading chronobiologists in Japan, China, Korea, India and Turkey. The Forum is sponsored by Hokkaido University and Aschoff/Honma Memorial Foundation with spiritual support of Japanese Society for Chronobiology. Anybody who is interested in Chronobiology is welcome to participate.
