The 31st International Exchange Seminar: Lectures by Dr. Muflihatul Muniroh and Dr. Nani Maharani, Diponegoro University

On October 25, 2024, Dr. Muflihatul Muniroh and Dr. Nani Maharani of Diponegoro University, Indonesia, one of our partner universities, visited Shinshu University School of Medicine and gave lectures in the 31th International Exchange Seminar.

Dr. Muniroh and Dr. Maharani act as a liaison between Diponegoro University and Shinshu university, and make efforts to implement COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) for first and fourth-year medical students and promote student exchanges.

Twenty participants including graduate and undergraduate students, faculty listened intently to the talks about genetic counselling for familial breast cancer by Dr Muniroh and precision medicine in genetic syndromes, especially those with cardiovascular abnormalities, by Dr Maharani.

After the seminar, due to the generosity of Prof. KOSHO Tomoki (Department of Medical Genetics), Dr. Muniroh, Dr. Maharani and the participants were able to have the valuable opportunity to observe the analysis room at the Center for Medical Genetics and understand some aspects of medical genetics.

We learned a lot about research and educational circumstances of the two universities by the seminar. It is clear that the close cooperation between the universities contributes to the development of education and research at both universities, and I recognize its significance. I hope that we will continue to build an even stronger cooperation between the universities.
