Last year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Physiology, Kyoto University special professor Motohiro gave a lecture in Ube City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, where he spent his boyhood. I want you to challenge with curiosity without fear. "
Mr. Motosu, a special professor at Kyoto University, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Physiology last year for contributing to the development of new drugs that treat cancer with the power of immunity.
The lecture was held in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the prefectural Ube High School where Mr. Honjo graduated, and about 1,300 high school students and graduates gathered at the venue.
Mr. Motosu introduced the research that led to the Nobel Prize and said, “If cancer does not disappear completely, it does not have to metastasize. I'm working hard to hope that the time will come when I can control and overcome. "
After exchanging opinions, students asked questions such as "I am not confident in realizing my dream" or "How can I overcome my setbacks?" “I have never frustrated. Finding what I like is my biggest goal in my life, so don't be afraid of failure and challenge with curiosity.”
A second-year student said, “I thought I shouldn't be depressed or give up easily. I want to work with a positive attitude toward studying.”
