We have been holding a series of events called “Find-Your-Role-Model” Session to provide students with opportunities to interact with TMDU alumni and world-wide leaders in health sciences. Through this roundtable-type, relaxed atmosphere event, we hope students will be able to find their role models in order to facilitate their career development in becoming future global leaders.

In the sixth Find-Your-Role-Model session of academic year 2015 we will be hosting Dr. Shinichiro Kira, a TMDU graduate and current postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard Medical School. After graduating from TMDU Faculty of medicine in 2008, he went on to get his Ph.D. in neuroscience at University of Washington, Seattle, USA. He then moved to Boston to fill his current position in the Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School. His research has focused on understanding the neural mechanism for reasoning and decision making. This session will be carried out in a round-table discussion format, and will cover the following points. Everyone is welcome to join us in a hearty discussion.

• Reasons for choosing your current career
• Pros and cons of going directly on to graduate school before residency training
• Impact of clinical education on bio-science research
• Research in Japan and abroad: advantages and disadvantages
• Finding the right university or lab to join
• Future career plans
