Event

NIH-Japan Early-stage Investigator Forum will be held on the morning of Thursday 14 December.
This forum aims to provide an opportunity for early-stage researchers, mainly from undergraduate students to post-doctoral researchers, to learn about cutting-edge research at NIH and role models in research abroad.

This time, two Japanese researchers active at the NIH and two currently working researchers at TU hospital,
who have studied at the NIH will give talks.
Afterwards, Prof. Reiko Toyama of NIH will chair a Panel Discussion on Career Development.
This forum can be attended either in person or online.
If you are interested, please join us.

Many Japanese researchers have been studying at NIH and are active both in Japan and abroad.
Tohoku University has received recovery assistance from NIH following the Great East Japan Earthquake and has mutually organized four symposia in the past, promoting international joint research and international exchange, particularly among early-stage researchers.
