It is undoubtedly important that students acquire knowledge on particular subjects, but one of the most important aspects of university studies is to develop in students the skills to ask “why?” and the ability to apply their knowledge to think, “How can it be answered?” This questioning approach is a skill that I would like students to acquire from their CSC studies.

I was blessed to be trained in four different countries and two continents. This gave me a large viewpoint that I apply in my research and daily life. Being part of a course that brings in one place all the benefits of being trained in a multicultural environment is thrilling. I hope the students will enjoy this opportunity offered by the CSC and make the most of it for their future.

In my research field of genome science, since I had to learn the state-of-the-art technology using the next-generation sequencer on my own, I strongly felt the importance of independent studies. Through independent studies in close collaboration with classmates and faculty staff in the CSC, I hope that students will acquire the ability to think scientifically and be globally active. Create yourself in the CSC!

Curiosity is the foundation of all scientific discoveries. I want students to follow their curiosity, explore new ideas with confidence, and take pride in their own perspectives. By embracing creativity and independent thinking, they can develop the ability to approach complex problems in innovative ways. I hope the CSC inspires students to trust their curiosity and enjoy learning with passion and fun.
