This seminar was held at the auditorium of the Newport News Japanese School and organized by this school. We have been helping with this seminar.
We invited two Japanese doctors from Virginia Commonwealth University. They came to Virginia for their research and studies from Japan. Dr. Dai Shida is from Tokyo University. His specialty is surgery of the digestive apparatus. He spoke about breast cancer and stomach cancer. Dr. Keisuke Taya is from the Jikei University School of Medicine. His specialty is brain-neurosurgery. He spoke about mechanism and disease of the brain. Their speeches were very interesting to the audience of around 40 people. Most people attending were from the Newport News Japanese School.
