Q. What is your goal or future dream?

A. I am deeply interested in basic research. Of course, clinical research directly contributes to the development of therapeutic methods for diseases and thus is extremely important, but such research is built on basic research. I think basic research can lead to the discovery of treatments for all diseases. My future dream is to become a scientist and contribute to medical progress in Japan and my home country, Nepal, as well as the rest of the world through basic research.

Advice to applicants to the graduate school of FBS

I believe we should always pursue tough goals. Even　if they are difficult to achieve, I think we can gain new insights by striving toward such goals. People are driven to pursue such goals by curiosity and enthusiasm. By attending lectures and seminars given by instructors who are enthusiastic about their research, and by interacting with international students and other researchers, I have broadened my knowledge and perspectives, and become interested in academic areas that I thought were irrelevant to my research. Why don’t you join us to carry out intriguing scientific research together!
