Let us name them!

Naming is always fun. As a small step of internationalization of Kyushu University, I would like to suggest to name all the streets in the campuses. There are a few streets with their unique names in Maidashi medical campus, but none in Hakozaki campus.

Street names, in combination with building names, would be informative to specify places of various activities such as seminar, meeting, and lectures, if they are properly labeled.

So let us create English names for all the streets in Hakozaki campus as a first trial.

For example, a main street in Agr region can be named as Agri-street or Kaizuka street (since it goes to Kaizuka gate and Kaizuka subway station).

A farewell party

Dr. Tsujikura, technical staff of my laboratory, got a new job in a animal pharmaceutical company in Tokushima Prefecture, and left several weeks ago. He has contributed a lot in identification of carp complement regulatory proteins (RCAs) using bioinformatic and molecular biological techniques. I hope his next success in developing fish vaccines and immunological medicines for animals.
