2023 Program

Kyoto University welcomed 23 Amgen Scholars from around the world to its 2023 program. The students spent two months in 22 laboratories in 11 of the university’s academic departments (Graduate School of Medicine, Graduate School of Engineering, Graduate School of Agriculture, Graduate School of Energy Sciences, Graduate School of Biostudies, Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability, Institute for Chemical Research, Institute of Advanced Energy, Institute for Life and Medical Sciences, Center for iPS cell Research and Application, and Institute For Integrated Cell-Material Sciences).
In addition to their research activities, the students were able to take Japanese language classes, experience Japanese culture, and visit different laboratories to experience the latest research equipment and methods. On the final day of the program, each student gave poster and flash talk presentations summarizing their research outcomes. The Amgen Scholars Asia Symposium was held in Singapore and was attended by a total of 108 Amgen Scholars from the National University of Singapore, Tsinghua University, the University of Tokyo, and Kyoto University. The symposium featured poster presentations by all attendees and oral presentations by three selected Amgen Scholars from each university. It also included expert lectures, a panel discussion on career development, and lively question-and-answer and discussion sessions throughout.
The Amgen Scholars Program is expected to provide the participating students with an experience that will serve as the first step in their career paths as scientists.
