Congratulations!
Comments from Anamika
I delve into the fascinating world of stem cells, which hold immense potential to heal our bodies. My research focuses on using tiny machines from bacteria, called ribosomes, to transform regular skin cells into “super cells” that can become different cell types! Imagine a future where damaged organs can be repaired using a patient’s own cells. That’s the promise of regenerative medicine, and my research is helping unlock its secrets. My curiosity about science began in Bangladesh, where I studied Biotechnology and worked on developing plants that thrive in salty environments. Seeking to expand my knowledge, I pursued a PhD in Japan, fascinated by the potential of stem cells. Here, I’m actively involved in national and international conferences, sharing my research and learning from renowned researchers. I have presented my research in 45th Annual Meeting of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan (2022). I have also participated in Kyushu university 3MT Competition-2023. My supportive professor, Dr. Kunimasa Ohta, encourages me to explore new ideas. This journey is propelling me to embrace new knowledge, strategize with finesse, and lead with passion in my research. I see myself as a scientist, who aspire opportunity to continuously learn, explore new areas, and stay at the cutting edge of discovery.
