Dr. Emiko Furuta, President Emeritus of Japanese Association for Developmental and Comparative Immunology

Dr. Emiko Furuta has passed away last night. I met Dr. Furuta for the first time in 1991 when I have just started my academic professional career. Since then, I have witnessed Dr. Furuta pouring her full energy to our JADCI. I think that Dr. Furuta has managed JADCI during its happiest period as a Secretary General and its most challenging period as a President. Then she might have spent the most anxious years as a mother of JADCI. I have many memories with Dr. Furuta, but I feel too sad to tell any episode of her now. Today, I would like just to share her bright image in our recent JADCI meetings.
