Abstract:
CITI (Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative) is a web-based training program on research ethics for the researchers in life sciences. All the students in the Graduate School of Medical Sciences in our university, as well as all the members of Institute of Molecular Embryology and Genetics (IMEG), are required to complete this training program.

Professor Iekuni Ichikawa has played a leading role in producing the Japanese version of this research ethics program (CITI Japan), after being involved in the establishment of the CITI program in US. Prof. Ichikawa spent 23 years in US as a director of the Division of Pediatric Nephrology at Vanderbilt University. When he came back to Japan as a vice dean of Tokai University School of Medicine, he became deeply involved in the education for research ethics. In addition, he recently served as a member of external committee for RIKEN after the STAP incident.

He is going to talk on how to act as a researcher and how to transmit our research ethics to the next generation. His talk will be in Japanese to assist the better understanding of Japanese young students, but simultaneous interpretation in English is provided for the foreign researchers.

This is one of the HIGO Program Cutting-edge Seminars, which is also broadcasted on live to the second-floor of General Research Building, School of Pharmacy.

We greatly appreciate your participation in this upcoming seminar.
