Abstract: As the MACS program, which began with a kick-off symposium in May 2016, enters its 10th year in the academic year 2025, I would like to look it back and talk about how it started, what thoughts shared by people involved at the time led to the spirit of MACS. I’d also like to share ideas and experiences in the history of MACS over the past 10 years, including what we wanted to do with MACS in the beginning but could not, or how MACS have collaborated with other subsequent activities of Kyodai RIGAKU (Kyoto U Science). 15:30-15:55 Talk by Prof. Yoshiko TAKAHASHI Title: Excitement through the MACS program Abstract: When the MACS program was launched, a research article was published by Harvard University, in which the gut looping during vertebrate development was beautifully explained by inter-disciplined science with experimental biology, physics, and mathematics. I was very impressed and motivated by this paper, and aimed at similar new waves through the MACS program. I have been running a study group, in which graduate- and undergrad students of not only life science but also physics and mathematics joined, and we enjoyed discussion and looking at real chicken embryos. Such experiences are not what we can easily obtain in conventional education program in campus life. 15:55-16:20 Discussion 16:20-16:30 Break [16:30-18:30 Second part: 2024 MACS Achievement Report Meeting] 16:30-17:30 Flash Talks to report results 17:30-18:30 Poster Session by SG participating students

Yoshihiro Morishita (Team Leader, Laboratory for Developmental Morphogeometry, RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR))14:45-15:00 Teatime discussion 15:00-16:00 Talk by Dr. Satoshi Horike (Professor, Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University) Title: Material science of new glasses of metal-molecular architectures Abstract: The three major materials - ceramics, metals and organic polymers - all form glass phases and underpin our daily lives and industry. Unlike crystals, glasses have a random structure and designing their molecular structures and properties is still a major challenge. In this talk, I will present research on new glasses made of metals and molecules. It will discuss how the glasses are designed and synthesised, as well as the unique glass structures and functions that result from the metal-molecule chemical bonds. 16:15-17:15 Talk by Prof. Yoshihiro Morishita (RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research, Team leader) Title: Optimal coding design of positional information and an appropriate spacetime coordinate system to capture an archetype of organ morphogenetic dynamics Abstract: We are engaged in developmental biology research at the intersection of experimentation and theory, driven by a curiosity to understand the laws governing organogenesis. Ideally, we aim to mathematically represent these laws and find commonalities across species and organs. In this seminar, I will present research on a coding design of spatial information within developing tissues, as well as propose spacetime coordinates to directly and quantitatively compare the morphogenetic dynamics of homologous organs across species with different sizes and developmental rates. Furthermore, we will introduce results suggesting the existence of speceis-independent morphogenetic dynamics (a kind of archetype) achieved by applying these methods to biological data. 17:15-18:00 Discussion
