My Interview as an International PhD Student in Japan
I had the opportunity to share my experiences as an international PhD student in Japan through an interview at SOKENDAI. In this interview, I discuss my research, academic journey, and life as a PhD student in Japan.

Delighted to have received my PhD degree! This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my supervisor Koide-sensei, my collaborators, and progress committee. Grateful to lab colleagues, friends, and family for their encouragement. @NIG_idenken @SokendaiU 👨🎓🎊 pic.twitter.com/R4NiO56DiK

My new preprint alert! Selective breeding for tameness behaviour in mice impacts the gut virome more than the bacteriome, revealing how specific phage-bacteria interactions shape host behaviour. 🦠🐭#Microbiome #Virome #Tameness #Phage https://t.co/W9V8KNmcAC

Attending #ISME19? Interested in how 29 generations of selective breeding impact the gut bacteriome and virome in mice? Can altering the abundance of a single bacterium change tameness behavior in mice? Visit my poster PS1.04.003 today at 10 AM to learn more! @ISME_microbes

Our research article focusing on four receptor gene families linked to olfaction, pheromones, and taste in Hystricomorph rodents🐭 has been published. This marks my first project where I've contributed solely as a bioinformatician.https://t.co/s6P53akLCi pic.twitter.com/50xXjtDDdQ

My first first-author paper is online. Our findings reveal that tameness selection pressure leads to increased L. reuteri abundance in mice. Moreover, administering L. reuteri results in enhanced tameness behaviour in non-tame mice. https://t.co/ienv2uKX7N

Thrilled that a part of my PhD work combined with research from @VenkatBharathy has been published. We found selecting for tameness behaviour in mice enhances their social behaviour but doesn't lead to the onset of domestication syndrome. https://t.co/Oz8s4VaIOT https://t.co/KDaGz4PfxS
