Since 2015, I have not only been researching AMR but I have also been informing students what I have learned. It all started with the support and cooperation of the University and it`s Graduate School of Medicine. I am thankful and honored for their approval and to be evaluated in such a way to receive an award. Although my goal was not to receive an award, I will take this opportunity to expand my efforts on the “Baikin (Bacteria)’s World” project and beyond. Continued support from everyone is very much appreciated.

Summary of the Project

Dangerous bacteria with antimicrobial resistance (the ability to resist the effects of medicine) have been increasing. Reports show that by 2050, worldwide deaths from the AMR will exceed those from cancer. With this as the backdrop, I have been educating students’ with original characters I call “Baikins (Bacterias)”.
