Comment:
In the training, I deepened my knowledge in the genetic oncology area, particularly in the induced leukemia genetics area. I was able to broaden my knowledge by studying in a laboratory in a front-line institution in this area. I intend to apply such knowledge to studying infantile acute spinal leukemia. Moreover, I was able to come into contact with Japanese culture and tradition. I am deeply grateful to the staff at HICARE and the laboratory for providing me with the opportunity to receive fruitful training in all aspects.
