Message from PI The thing I appreciate most about cell biological research is the whole new perspective it gives you on the life around you. You can see the molecules working hard in cells under the microscope or on the immunoblotting, and importantly, you can extend that to what is happening in your body now at this moment. Their existence has supported our lives since we were born in this world, yet there are still many things left to be discovered. Cell biologists are given the opportunity to reveal them through our own ideas. Let's enjoy together the chances we've been given!
