IT’S YOUR ST RY
Chemical biology is a language that traverses across disciplines, music that resonates with inner intuition, and an art where curiosity meets creativity. Studying the interdisciplinary field of chemical biology is a passport to a world of opportunities whether in academia, industry, government, non-profit organizations or elsewhere.
Asian Chemical Biology Initiative (ACBI) has been traveling through Southeast Asian countries, trying to accomplish its missions to promote chemical biology studies in the region and recruit students in good academic standing to the field. Our premise is that education and training of these talented students at top-tier universities in Asia will eventually foster the next-generation chemical biology leaders in their home grounds.
Chemical biology is a language that traverses across disciplines, music that resonates with inner intuition, and an art where curiosity meets creativity.
The ACBI's caravans have been joined by hundreds of students in emerging Southeast Asian countries. Listen to the voices from those students who have successfully seized the opportunity to study chemical biology in ACBI countries, and how their lives have been impacted and transformed by the ACBI.

“Nothing is impossible”
That is the message, which I have got from ACBI interview events.
I would say ACBI program is the life-changing event for any students who are interested in chemical biology. I had an interview with the professor who is my supervisor now in 2012 in Vietnam and my life-study was become exciting since there.

The ACBI interview events allow students to meet with many professors and discuss with them casually. The program provides students with opportunities to study abroad at highly reputed universities in Asia. In my case, after ACBI Ulaanbaatar Meeting, I participated in a visiting research student program in Kyoto for 45 days and went through a lot of research experiences.

“Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.” Quoting Emerson, those were my sentiments when I decided to take on graduate studies here in Kyoto. It is difficult and not always successful, but it has been a very enriching experience at many levels, for which I will always be grateful to ACBI and to the committed people who make this happen.

My whole journey with the ACBI from the day one has been truly a remarkable experience.
Insightful presentations, networking activities with fellow attendees and interview sessions with honored professors, which is not just a Q&A but more of a sincere discussion about their outstanding researches make it one of the must-attend meetings for young scientists. I am
grateful for the ACBI community for spreading such knowledge and global-scale opportunity and being the bridge for students around Asia.

ACBI 2019 in Yangon was a very worthwhile experience for me. The event provided useful and beneficial information than any other I have attended. The lectures from famous scientists provided a broad spectrum of topics for chemical biology. Face-Face time with professors was very productive for me. I am very grateful to ACBI that I got a valuable contact with my current admirable professor. ACBI is a must-attend event for the students who want to make a challenging step to chemical biology.
