The days at FBS that kickstarted my passion for science

Master Degree in March 2018
Laboratory for Embryogenesis (Prof. Hiroshi Sasaki)

I remember thinking, “I want to change the world with my future research!” when I arrived at the graduate school. I had been studying stem cells research in my undergraduate work and I noticed that stem cells contain a group of easily differentiated cells. I was then interested in quality control of these cells and joined the lab group led by Professor Hiroshi Sasaki, who studies cell competition, which is a cell-to-cell quality-control mechanism.
FBS is not only an environment where I can immerse myself in my research, but also provides opportunities to interact with researchers in various fields. I felt that these experiences expanded my perspective. Throughout my days, I could spend most of my time on what I wanted to do. Thus, I gained a new concept of value, many good friends, and future goals.
I am currently working as a researcher at Lion Corporation on a project to create new products for daily necessities that will change our lifestyle. My dream of changing the world with research is stronger now than when I was at FBS. I hope that you will have many good experiences in obtaining knowledge for our future to create a new world.
