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!

Besides providing scientific education in an international framework, we offer our students the chances to take the initiative to ask their own scientific questions and we support them to attack these questions with their own ideas. As a result, they can appropriate their own scientific knowledge. During the first two years in CSC, I have been impressed at how our students face these challenges very positively.
