Since I was an undergraduate lab

I repeatedly hospitalized suffering from hepatitis B at the time of the high school one year、Hospitalization period has been forced to repeat a year in order lasted a total of 9 months。Is in the hospital was just lying on the only bed except to receive an infusion of 2 times a day。
Such folding、I read a book of Ikemi ToriJiro teacher of the famous original Kyushu University professor as Psychosomatic Medicine。Nitsuke see people in the same way as I repeat hospitalized、Certainly man is in the presence of mind and body oneness、I think that also in mind does not mean that was really the treatment as long as it does not approach、Now acutely I hope so want to be in Psychosomatic Medicine。
The biggest reason advanced to Jichi Medical School is、Even if ultimately aspire to Psychosomatic Medicine、First, go to the front line of the day-to-day clinical、Because we would like to pile the clinical experience for a variety of diseases。As we advance the study of counseling and psychosomatic medicine at the University of、Rather than dealing with the brain as a black box、To think and want to understand the actual situation of the more mental activity、3We started to learn out and electrophysiology to Department of Physiology from the time of the year。In the case of Jichi Medical School、9 years after graduation、Remote areas of the former State、Since there is a medical obligations remote island、In particular, the laboratory of the basic system is less classroom employees、It was important to take care。
After graduation、Osakafuritsubyoin after internal medicine training at the (now Osaka acute-General Medical Center)、You will be working in Suita health center。In Osaka, this is my hometown、For remote areas and islands are not、Those of internal medicine system is because were instructed to proceed to the field of public health。

I did a study of mitochondrial brain muscle disease under the Yasuo Kagawa professor of biochemistry classroom。Then、There is also a recommendation of Kagawa teacher、Now that I am allowed to domestic study abroad at the Katsuhiko Mikoshiba professor of the Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University。Mikoshiba Kende is、Although we worked to work to elucidate the Ca store of the control mechanism of the nerve cells、gradually、Now hard to suppress the feeling that you want to try yourself to study abroad。
In the nerve cells、Nerve spines at the tip portion of the dendrite、It plays an important role in memory formation。at that time、The first time in the world has succeeded in Ca imaging in nerve thorn、John A. I wrote a letter to the laboratory of Connor teacher。Fortunately Human Frontier Science Program of the will to earn the scholarship、My wife and 2-year-old、4Along with the age of the children it was decided to study in the United States, New Jersey。

Before the truth の に を し て sea

2When the student life was scheduled in the year ends、From Tom Curran teacher who was joint research、I was invited or not comes as Assistant Professor in the neurobiology department, which is new to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital。This hospital is the largest of childhood leukemia specialized research facilities in the United States in the Tennessee、from now on、This department is established in order to focus on the nervous system intractable disease、It was that with him is appointed as head of department。After a few months、While holding a hope and anxiety and a sense of responsibility、From New Jersey to Tennessee、We moved through the snowy put four people family in a small car。
And become Assistant Professor、Has a completely independent his laboratory was、Also it ensures the laboratory set-up and labor costs and research expenses。This openness is great、It launched one after another the research that has been wanting to do until now。
However、Everything does not have the only sweet talk。But so it is most of the university、The Assistant Professor at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital there is a qualifying examination every three years。Judging Criteria Although there are various、It is essential to have taken at least research expenses of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH)。However, the adoption rate of this research expenses、In my field there at the time a little less than 10%、Fledgling researchers was also a situation that even veteran researchers are reviewed without distinction。
