Counterpart Training in Japan (2022-12-18)
Nine Counterpart researchers participated in the training courses in Japan during a period of October to December 2022.
Each of them had fruitful time with Japanese Professors and researchers implementing research works and learning useful lab techniques. Click the links on the table below for the training reports / summaries.
We would like to express our gratitude to the universities, professors and researchers who accepted the trainees despite their busy schedules.
