Chung-Kuan Chen (Graduate School of Medical Sciences, University of Tsukuba) received the Dean’s Award for the 2023 academic year!

Presented Paper: Forward genetic screen of Caenorhabditis elegans mutants with impaired sleep reveals a crucial role of neuronal diacylglycerol kinase DGK-1 in regulating sleep

Kuan’s Comment: “I am very happy to have received this award . During this period, I was inexperienced and made many mistakes in experimental design, so it took me a long time to publish my first paper and receive my PhD degree. Nevertheless, this is just a beginning — the experiences in Hayashi lab will definitely be the cornerstone for my next research journey.”

Congratulations to Dr. Chen!
