I have been interested in chemistry since I was a junior high school student, and have been consistent in my study of biomaterials engineering. More specifically, I have been working on the development of a wound healing gel formula using seaweed ingredients and carbonated water, and the application of cell aggregate (spheroid) culture substrates in regenerative medicine. I completed my master’s course at the Tokyo University of Science Graduate School in March 2024, and now work in the Research and Development Division of Lion Corporation. With the rapid advancement in AI in recent years, I believe that the future society will transform in ways we do not currently expect. In this context, rather than focusing on highly complex research, pursuing simple concepts that have gone unnoticed by others can resonate with many researchers and spark new technological innovations. As a member of an internationally diverse foundation, I am eager to engage in active discussions and drive research that contributes to groundbreaking innovations.
