Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education

On December 7, 2022, we organized the fourth social meeting in the form of a special seminar featuring Dr. SAITO Makoto of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, who is a role model for our program. He discussed the progression of his career in the field of basic genome editing, the research environment in foreign countries, tips for a successful postdoc application, and findings from his research. The meeting was attended by 17 students and 17 faculty members. It informed students about international career development and the language skills required and provided all the participants a valuable opportunity to receive direct advice from a successful researcher working abroad.

*The Frontier Development Program for Genome Editing has been offering social meetings for students enrolled in the program, aiming to provide the opportunity for students, teaching staff, individuals from participating businesses, and the like to meet and mingle with each other, help them share information related to the program and widen their knowledge and horizons, increase students' motivation, and help the participants build their network.
