21 January 2025 - A*STAR GIS welcomed Prof. Mitsuo Ochi, President of Hiroshima University, and Dr. Shinji Kaneko, Executive Vice President, International Office, during their recent visit to Singapore in January. They were hosted by GIS’ Dr. Alexander Lezhava, an alumnus of Hiroshima University, where they toured the GIS labs and discussed about potential collaboration in the areas of Translational Research, Diagnostics, CRISPR and other areas of genomics. President Ochi also showed particular interest in internship and graduate study opportunities in GIS. We look forward to further discussions with Hiroshima University on joint research, short-term research exchanges, and internship opportunities in genomics and related fields in the near future!
