Using Start-up Research Funds
Assistant Professor Shiori Yasuki, Laboratory of Plant Growth Regulation, Division of Biological Science(Umeda Lab)
I joined the lab as a postdoctoral researcher in July 2013, and became an assistant professor in April 2020. I knew about the Start-up Research Fund when I was a postdoctoral researcher, and it was a great incentive for me to apply for the assistant professor position.
During my tenure as a postdoctoral researcher, there was no shortage of research activities. However, I was in the position of being part of a project with a budget obtained by the laboratory organizers, so I was happy to receive a research grant as my own budget this time, and it gave me peace of mind that I could proceed with my own research.
I was very grateful that I was able to use the research funds to purchase reagents, soil for plant cultivation, and microscope-related consumables that were essential for the progress of my research.
