October 29 2024

From October 28 to 29, 2024, a PI Retreat was held at the Minami Aso Greenpia Hotel, bringing together Principal Investigators (PIs), Kumamoto University Auditor Ms. Keiko Watanabe, and Wakakusu researchers for an invaluable opportunity to foster exchanges in research. The retreat began with a group social activity, where PIs enjoyed a friendly table tennis match featuring exciting pairings such as Dr. Takizawa vs. Dr. Liu, and Dr. Miharada vs. Dr. Morishima, with Dr. Umemoto joining in. We were also treated to a beautiful piano performance by Dr. Kurihara.

In addition to the group social activities, they engaged in brain storm activities and in-depth discussions focused on shaping the future of our research. Building on the insights and unity shared during this retreat, we will further strengthen our efforts toward advancing research.
