Activity introduction:Mr Shiraishi worked at the head equator of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) as an intern for one year since March 2015. With the knowledge and experiences in the field of microbiology and molecular cell biology, he was involved in a management on the database for GM food safety assessment in Food Safety and Quality Unit. Although it was challenging to discuss with the contact persons from more than 180 member countries, Mr Shiraishi found himself excited to look for solutions on specific problems with those people who have different cultures, languages and economic situations. Working and discussing with internal professionals and young talents also let him learn many new things and at the same time gave him large motivation. This year Mr Shiraishi will do his best on his research and leadership programme aiming at the graduation in March 2017.
