Make the most of your time.

As a student, graduate student, or researcher, you may feel that you have plenty of time, and do things for as long as you like. But this is not the case in reality, especially for people suffering from rare and intractable diseases. Their time is invaluable, and so is yours. In our laboratory, we always engage in research with a sense of purpose and awareness that time is of the essence.

Enjoy your research.

This applies to everything: when you develop a passion for what you do, and do it with enjoyment, your determination and concentration will ensue. These qualities lead to higher efficiency, fewer errors, and the endless generation of good ideas. Take ownership and pride in your research, and move forward while enjoying the process of learning and discovery.

Publish your results.

No matter how outstanding your results may be, if you do not publish them and share them with the world, they cannot truly be called research. Research is only complete when its outcomes are presented in a scientific paper. Also, getting the work published is essential as a means to contribute to the broader scientific community, in the form of recognized knowledge that can be evaluated and built upon.

What is scientific research?

Scientific discoveries make a huge difference in the well-being of mankind. However, the progress leading to those discoveries does not simply happen overnight. With the utmost respect for the scientific achievements that our predecessors have accomplished over many years, we write the next chapters on that foundation. Scientific research is not about winning or losing. It is a collaborative effort among scientists around the world who are living in the same era and visualizing the same goals. By learning from the past achievements and gaining a solid understanding of the research that are ongoing globally, we steadily make progress towards the new chapters.

What should go without saying?

In the society, lying can undermine trust and relationship. It can also be a sign of dishonesty or disrespect. Unfortunately, in the scientific world, issues such as data fabrication and falsification occasionally arise. Viewing science as a competition and prioritizing personal credit over the merits of our genuine efforts is therefore dangerous. Let us once again, with our virtue, reflect on what science really is. In experimental research, it is common for results not to turn out as expected and for failures to persist. Always remember that this is not happening only to you—it is something everyone around the world experiences. Such setbacks, twists and turns are simply part of the process.
