Today March 7, 2109, we at JAPOHR project had visitors from Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT).  13 Engineering students came to check on the facilities and services offered by the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM).  The TIT students visit countries overseas as part of their Global Science and Technology Development Course.  Their aim is to deepen the understanding of international cooperation, especially cooperation in the field of science and technology.

Initially, they had a courtesy call with Dr. Quiambao, Chief, Clinical Research Division of RITM.
Brief background from the Special Pathogens Laboratory (SPL) and Veterinary Research Department (VRD) was visited to have an overview of the department activities.  They also visited the Animal Bite Clinic where the bite and rabies infected patients were treated.

The visit was interactive as students get to ask questions.  Before ending the visit,  Dr. Nobuo Saito, Deputy Principal Investigator did present the JAPOHR project to have a better understanding of it.
