There are over 100 affiliated members of KGRI research projects. Researcher networking events are held about twice a year with these members, who are affiliated to various faculties, graduate schools, research centers, and institutes at the university, and who are active at each of its campuses or off-site. These events are an opportunity for the researchers specializing in different fields to meet, discuss, and share details of their research at KGRI.
At the networking event for researchers held on Friday, July 26, attendees celebrated the delightful news delivered by Masato Yasui (KGRI Director; Professor at the School of Medicine) that Kouhei Ohnishi (KGRI Project Professor) had received the Fujihara award.
