Jerry has presented his two-months progress at the final presentation session for the KU-CUHK exchange program.
Jerry Yau Chun-khit from The Chinese University of Hong Kong has joined our group. He will stay with us for two months and conduct a research project on DNA origami and artificial molecular muscles.
Kansai University’s Graduation and Degree Ceremonies were held last week. From our lab, 6 undergrads, 5 master course graduate students, and a Ph.D. student completed their courses. Congrats!
Ankita Ray from Prof. Yoko Yamakoshi’s group at ETH Zürich is visiting our lab. She will stay here for two weeks to carry out photoreaction on our DNA nanostructures.
Oliver Ditzer from Technische Universität Dresden has joined our group. He will stay with us for three months and conduct a research project on DNA origami and molecular robots.
Yolthida Kantapa, an exchange student from Chulalongkorn University, has joined our group. She will conduct our joint research with Dr. Monpichar Srisa-art on paper analytical devices (PAD). Please enjoy Japanese holiday season for two months!
