Message for researchers

I will make every effort to provide good support for researchers to enjoy research. Let’s disseminate unique knowledge from Kyoto University to the world!

What inspired me to become a research administrator (URA)

When I was searching for a job focused on human support based on my previous research experience and collaborative work with academia, I encountered the position of URA and I decided to embark on this role, dedicating my second career to it.

Academic & Professional Background

  • Research Division, Shionogi & Co.,Ltd.
  • Biomarker R&D Division, Shionogi & Co.,Ltd.

Personal Note

When I came back to Japan from UK after finishing studying abroad, I got a good scolding from an airport officer because of overstay and almost got arrested! That is a bittersweet memory in my work career.
