Our special adviser and Nobel Prize laureate, Sir Paul Nurse visited Hiroshima University on 4th and 5th April. Sir Paul is currently the director and CEO of the Francis Crick Institute, in which Professor Takashi Toda used to run a research group until 2015. Two events have successfully been completed with Sir Paul.
