How is the research in Life Sciences at Iwate University?

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I’ve recently been in contact with a professor from Iwate University who has shown strong support for my application. We've exchanged 4-5 emails so far, and she has been very cooperative and enthusiastic. After exploring her lab's website, I noticed that she actively shares her students' success stories, which is quite encouraging.

However, I noticed that the Life Sciences Department at Iwate University only has about 10-12 faculty members. I’m curious to know if anyone here has experience with the Life Sciences Department at Iwate University. How is the research environment there? I would also love to hear about your overall experience at the university.

Thank you in advance!
