発表タイトル(口頭) Analysis of a mechanism to stabilize tumor suppressor protein CADM1
 I visited the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) to attend the International Student Research Forum 2012 (ISRF2012) held Aug 5-11.

  The Omaha city is located on the eastern side of the State of Nebraska. Unfortunately, there are no direct flights from Japan to Omaha. Therefore, we went to Omaha via the Mineapolis-St.Paul international airport in the state of Minnesota.

 Each of the oral presentations was assigned to one of a wide range of categories, such as Molecular Cell Biology, Bioinformatics, Genetics, Drug Delivery, and so on. I made a presentation in the category of Molecular Cell Biology. All speakers except for native speakers were quite nervous, because nearly all of them, including me, have  few experiences with oral presentation in English.  Since many participants, including Aussie, American, and Chinese scientists, gave me some useful advice and questions, this experience reaffirmed for me the importance of discussing my research with scientists in other laboratories in order to raise its level.  By virtue of attending this symposium, I learned the importance of international exchange.

 During ISRF2012, they provided us not only with presentation time but also with many activities such as shopping, watching a baseball game, jazz appreciation, dinner with all of participants, and so on. Through these activities, I made friends with many participants from other countries.

 
Thanks to the grant of International Dispatch Program for Young Biomedical Investigators and all ISRF2012 staff members. I feel that this visit has been precious for my career development. I am looking forward to meeting again with many of the same participants in other international meeting in the near future.
