This project was initiated as a collaborative study while he was a master\u2019s student at KINDAI University under Prof. Mizuki Kitamatsu and has continued throughout his doctoral studies.\u00a0Aritsu-san joined our group when he entered the doctoral program and successfully mastered and completed new experimental approaches, including functional analyses of human T cells and animal experiments using HLA-Tg mice. We believe this paper truly reflects Aritsu\u2019s unique strengths and accomplishments as a researcher!<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">He is scheduled to complete his PhD at the end of September 2026 and will continue to further develop this research as a postdoctoral researcher in our group from October.<br \/>\nCongratulations, Aritsu-san! \ud83c\udf89 We look forward to seeing your continued success and further achievements! \u2728<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1211\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-321\" src=\"https:\/\/kumamoto-u-jrchri.jp\/motozono\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260716_150353-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1211\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-322\" src=\"https:\/\/kumamoto-u-jrchri.jp\/motozono\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260716_150621-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-323","news_en","type-news_en","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kumamoto-u-jrchri.jp\/motozono\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_en\/323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kumamoto-u-jrchri.jp\/motozono\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_en"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kumamoto-u-jrchri.jp\/motozono\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news_en"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kumamoto-u-jrchri.jp\/motozono\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
