Successful Symposium, Wonderful Visit to Shizuoka University

My research or experience while staying Japan

The “2015 International Symposium toward the Future of Advanced Researches in Shizuoka University” was successful. We not only discussed with researchers of our own research fields, but also listen and learned from researchers working on food and nutrition, nano biotechnology etc. from several countries. The symposium provided a bridge for international communication and cooperation.

Meaningful and unforgettable workshop in Shizuoka University, Japan

My research or experience while staying Japan

The symposium really gave me a chance to broaden my mind and open up my international vision. In the workshop, I met young researchers and professors from Japan, South Korea and India, listen to their reports and communicate with them about their researches. I think it’s really an honor for me to communicate with these outstanding persons and it’s a great encourage for me to receive the “outstanding oral presentation” in “2015 Workshop on Green Science and Technology of Global Young Researchers” session.

About a University

The campus of Shizuoka University is clean and tidy. We can imagine how beautiful it will be in the cherry blossom season. It’s a good place for doing researches. The facilities are well-equipped and everyone here is hardworking. We have met several Chinese students for post-graduate study and PhD’s degree here. We’re really glad to hear that they all enjoy the life in Shizuoka University and we are happy for the gains they have made.

About a Japan

Among the several countries I’ve been, Japan is definitely one of the most favorite. It’s clean and beautiful. The traffic here is very convenient and fast. The hotel rooms are comfortable.

The influence for your own study or future

When I came back to China after the 5 days in Shizuoka and Hamamatsu in Japan, I think about the researches I’ve been doing and my research career in the future. There’ll be at least 3 years until I exit graduate school. After that I would like to go abroad for post-doctoral degree. Besides, this symposium provided a way for us to build international friendship cooperation.

An unforgettable symposium in Shizuoka University

My research or experience while staying Japan

It was a great pleasure to attend the fruitful symposium in Shizuoka University. Through the active communication, I had a good knowledge on the research field over biology, agriculture, nanotechnology, and biological material. I was most impressed in several topics such as fairy ring, recombinant baculovirus insecticide, CRISPR/Cas9 system, and magnetoplasmonic nanochains. Moreover, sophisticated researchers gave advices to my latest issues and personal development in near future. It was helpful. Thanks to meeting organizers, we have an access to communicate with expert in and out of our research field, which may attribute to interdisciplinary cooperation in future.

My research or experience while staying Japan

This is my first time to come to Shizuoka and attend the international symposium “Green Science and Technology of Global Young Researchers” held in Shizuoka University. I am one Ph.D. student and had one opportunity to present my works. Before started my presentation I was very nervous and worried my English pronunciation. However, the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere from everyone and the meeting gave me courage and confidence. Importantly, I got many kinds of knowledge from other fields. And I exchanged views with other professors and students. Thanks for organizers’ warm hospitality.

This is an amazing and impressive trip to Japan. As one developed country, Japan gave me many new ideas for my future study and life. I am shocked by the garbage classification in Japan, and everyone whatever is child or adult could comply with this order consciously. So to make one better environment we must carry out similar measures in our country. And for my future study, I should do some practical researches that will be used in our daily life.

My research or experience while staying Japan

It made a deep impression on me when staying in Japan and I learned a lot from you. Professors and every young scientist have an enthusiasm toward their work and all of them tried their best to show the finds of studies to us. The research on fairy ring interested me so much although it had little interacts with mine, I think it’s a very meaningful work. Meanwhile, I have got many inspirations on my research and made a lot of friends who I want to contact with further.

About a University

We accepted Mr. Park and other teachers’ warm welcome in Shizuoka University. I’m very thankful for their friendly accommodations. The campus was so clear and students there are energetic and have potential in scholarship. I’ll being so pleased if I have the chance to study in Shizuoka University.

My research or experience while staying Japan

This is the third time for me to attend the international symposium in Shizuoka University, Japan since 2007. This year’s theme is Green Science and Technology of Global Young Researchers. Through the symposiums, it is not only to strengthen academic exchanges between professors, enhance mutual friendship, but also to enhance the communication and friendship between students and make them better and faster progress in their career in scientific researches. During the symposium, we mutually discussed the research projects, exchanged the research results with colleagues of Shizuoka University and from South Korea, India, Hungary and other countries. Also we explored the possibility for academic cooperation in near future. During the meeting, we received the warm hospitality from our fellow professors, especially Prof. Watanabe and Prof. Enoch Y. Park. Thanks.

Shizuoka University is a prestigious university, which has long history inaugurated on 1949. The University has complete disciplines and subjects. The subject of bioscience in Shizuoka University ranks on the top level in biological researches in Japan, even in the world. In laboratory of Prof. Park, my friend and partnership, equipment is very advanced. Professor and young researchers are conducting many of research projects with glob leading level. Shizuoka University has beautiful campuses in Shizuoka and Hamamatsu. Both of them are full of sakura trees, presumably will be the beautiful and flowery garden in coming spring. Shizuoka University is putting great efforts to develop international academic exchanges, which will promote the academic standards, and to enhance the friendship among scholars and young researchers.

About a Japan

Japan is a developed country, which have a beautiful environment, a better life, and a large number of historical and cultural relics. Japanese people are polite, and abide by the rules. Although I have been in Japan many times, but each time, always fully feel the fresh air and beautiful scenery. During the stay in Japan for workshop, when we are on the way from Tokyo Narida Airport to Shizuoka, we appreciated the magnificent scenery of Fuji Mountain. In Shizuoka city, we enjoyed the street customs. Before return back home, we stayed one night near the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Although it began to snow, but the snow viewing also gave us a good feeling.

My main subjects were animal sciences and molecular biology. In more than 30 year’s career, we cloned and analyzed the functional genes for growth and development of silkworm, studied mechanism of silk protein synthesis associated with the regulation of hormone. We built a new recombinant virus expression vectors and established the technologies for silkworm bioreactor platform to express important application value of protein, such as drugs and animal vaccines. In recent years, we conducted transgenesis, shRNA interference, site-directed mutagenesis with CRISPR / Cas9 and programmed cell signaling pathways such as apoptosis. During the 2015 workshop, I reported the theme entitled “piggyBac transposon-derived targeting shRNA interference and its application”. We have made an in-depth discussion with our Japanese colleagues for future researches to explore the possibility of cooperation. I believe the academic exchanges will improve and enhance our research level, and contribute greatly for science through student exchange and joint research.
