Suandi Pratama

Suandi Pratama To apply and join NIG internship program felt like a challenge for me to understand more about science. I'm coming from applied science field, then curiosity to explore what's behind basic science driven me to use this opprtunity to experience the beauty of science that pepole usually described in text book.

 Perform fundamental genetic experiment is the first time for me and the main reason why I chosen Niki's Lab for my internship program. Here, people discissed critical questions that made me rethink about genetic expeiment in the ways I had never considered. The instructors were challenging and pushing me to think out of the box so I understand how to look at the science in different ways. They helped me to design a good experiment and show me how to perform a science experiment properly. They teached me several tools available in genetic field, inspired me the importance of genetics research and support my intention to continue about study science. The best impression for me during the experiemtent is to witness wild type and mutant yeast cells undergo mitotic division under the microscope and I just can't described how beauthiful it was.

  Beside of the experiment course, there were various activities such as weekly japanese lesson that was very interestion (Thanks to Miauchi-sensei ^^v ), seminar, and journal club. I joined Molecular Biology Class to know how NIG teacher describe science to the students as well as to apply and connect these knowledge to experiment that they conducted. I also attended seminar and poster presentation in NIG to see the latese achievements in science conducted in NIG.

 Let me say It was an amazing 10-weeks. I learned a lot of about science and getting more interested to know more and deeper. I am happy to make friends with NIG members and all of the Indian interns. Finally I would like to say thanks for all of the kindness, warm advice and knowledge to all of the members of NIKI's lab for helping me a lot during this program especially for NIKI-sensei, FURUYA-san, SHIOMI-san, AOKI-san, Niki's lab members and also to NIG education supporting team. Hope we can meet again.
