- After retiring from the Niigata Prefectural Institute of Health and Environmental Sciences and being reappointed for three years, I am now working at Niigata University's Myanmar Infectious Disease Research Center.
At the PHI, I was involved in pathogen surveillance, viral food poisoning testing, tick collection, and mosquito capture.
I am working hard at the university so as not to be a burden.
I hope for the early peace of Myanmar.
