My labo has a new staff and two PhD students this year. Dr. Masamitsu Eitoku majors in basic biological studies on epigenetics and moved into our field of environmental medicine. He is a young and fresh researcher with honest mind. Situation in national universities in Japan is not ideal, but still we have place to conduct our researches and chances to get research grant.
One of the new students is from Thailand, who have known me since a couple of years ago when I went to Thailand on ILO mission for pneumooconioses workshop, and the other is from D. R. Congo. Now Ngatu is in the second year and will help these two new comers. Not many students are from Africa in KMS, only one other from Zimbabwe in the whole Kochi University. It seems my department will be the core for collaborating with African universities.
