For Prospective Members
First Steps
Students, researchers, and organizations interested in joining our projects or collaborating with us are encouraged to first participate in the Laboratory Automation Monthly Workshop, hosted by our team members. This event brings together not only ideal visions but also real-world insights from the field. If you're new to this area, we encourage you to participate at least once to get a sense of the field’s dynamics and atmosphere. Many core members attend in person, providing an opportunity for direct introductions. Online attendance is also available. No prior inquiry to team members is required for participation.
Graduate Students
Please refer to the Graduate Student Recruitment Information on the Medical Research Laboratory website (available in Japanese only).
If you wish to visit the laboratory, or if you are interested in our research and are considering applying to graduate school, please contact us via email. Applicants who are considering applying are asked to contact us at least one month before the application deadline. When reaching out, please attach your CV and a list of at least one reference who can provide insight into your background, and include a brief description of your past experience and your reasons for being interested in our laboratory.
Based on the submitted materials, we will conduct an initial screening. Selected candidates will then be invited for interviews with multiple faculty members from our field and related research areas. During the interview, candidates will be asked to explain their previous research, as well as their future research plans and interests. Interviews are expected to last approximately 1–2 hours. Based on the interview results, we will determine acceptance and eligibility to apply.
Please note that, in order to apply to this university’s graduate school, it is mandatory to obtain prior permission from the prospective supervising professor.
