Ms. Islam has provided the following statement regarding the award.

“I am honored and delighted to receive the Dean’s Award from the School of Life Science, SOKENDAI University.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Masato Kanemaki. Without his constant guidance and support, this achievement would not have been possible.

National Institute of Genetics, Japan is the first place where I truly learned about research, and it has provided me with invaluable opportunities to explore and grow in this field. I am also grateful to my lab members and collaborators for their contributions, and to my family for their continuous encouragement throughout this journey.

This recognition will inspire me to continue pursuing science with passion and dedication. It will remain a strong motivation as I move forward in my career.”
