APAN was born in 1996

• Formation of APAN started at APEC Symposium in
  Tsukuba, Japan on Mar. 28, 1996.
• Dr. Steve Goldstein_at_NSF showed his plan to renew
  the program on the international Internet
  Services.
• Professor Kilnam Chon_at_KAIST started to take the
  lead for the application to the new program.
• Professor Michael McRobbie_at_ANU made the proposal
  on APAN at APEC APII Testbed Forum in Seoul on
  June 18, 1996.

5
Features of APAN

• 13 countries connected in Asia
• Consortium of the international link owners
• Governance by Researchers
• Funded by governments
• NGO activities by network, middleware
  application researchers
• Coordination or match-making for the joint
  projects over multiple countries.

Regional Endorsement

• APAN was founded by AU, JP, KR SG.
• ? NSF is funding TransPAC for connecting APAN.
• TEIN was proposed by KR with the endorsement of
  APII/APAN.
• ? EU is funding TEIN for connecting APAN
  countries.

Laser Micro Dissection Method to cut out only
cancer cells under microscope

• Most of the cancer tissues contain normal cells
• Getting only cancer cells are required for Cancer
• Genome Research
• Pathological decision is required
• for distinguishing cancer cells
• Little number of Pathologist are
• available in Japan.
• High definition image transfer
• and remote robotics are required
• for remote control by pathologists.
