We are analyzing the structure and formation of intracellular organelles and gene expression patterns specific to cancer cells using cell biology, molecular biology, and bioinfomatics perspectives.
Also, based on these knowlodge, we are applying to cancer diagnostics technologies and anticancer regents.

We are looking for 1-2 students in The IDEC Institute 3+1 Program to participate in our research in cancer biology (participation period is negotiable). 

The outcomes of your participation will be compiled into a graduation thesis to be submitted to your university.

In addition to the program application requirements outlined in the application guidelines, applicants must meet the following criteria:

(1) A Fundamental Understanding of University-level Biology

Applicants must possess a solid understanding of university-level biology. Familiarity with basic molecular biology techniques, such as PCR, and hands-on experience in cell culture (e.g., through practical training) are highly desirable.

(2) Communication Skills

The lab hosts many international students, and all presentations and discussions within the lab are conducted in English. Therefore, a sufficient level of English proficiency is required for a smooth and effective communication with faculty members and other members in the lab.

Please submit the required documents through IAAS. The application deadline is February 21st, 2025. 

For more details of the required application documents in the program, please refer to the application guideline. You need to clearly indicate in your application materials, such as your resume, how you meet the additional requirements from the lab in your application documents.

Please note that applications are exclusively open to students from our partner universities. Partner universities will announce the application details to their students when the application period begins.

The selection process begins with a review of applicants' submitted documents. Candidates who pass this initial document screening will be invited for an interview.

Final acceptance will be based on the interview results, with successful applicants demonstrating the ability to effectively carry out the research activities required from each laboratory. Document screening will take place in February, and interviews for shortlisted candidates will be conducted in March.
