Research
I enrolled in this university with the goal of becoming a clinician and obtained a veterinary license. I took part in clinical practice after graduation, but day after day I found myself asking more and more questions, seeking more and more answers about life science. That’s why I enrolled in a PhD course. I learned so much there from my lab mates and from teachers I respect and admire. This led me to the decision that I would take part in research that focuses on the true nature of life phenomena at least once during my lifetime. I look forward to talking with people all over the world I meet through my research.
