- *On October 3, 2022, the day before this workshop, Dr. Svante Pääbo was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.” Since this discovery is very closely related to our program, we suddenly invited Dr. Noriko Osumi, vice president of public relations and the promotion of diversity at Tohoku University, who is well acquainted with Dr. Pääbo, to talk about his achievements.
