Thanks. I'm very excited and busy with preparations
I will be working on mechanisms of protein transport in polarized cells (like epithelial cells and neurons).
From the very beggining I was very interested in this lab and I was thinking of applaying there during 2012 edition of MEXT Scholarship. But March 2011 was when the earthquake occured, so I wrote to this proffessor before even applaying for scholarship to find out if there is any chance he can accept me. And I got the answer "no". I was on 4th year of graduate course then and I decided not to apply and wait till next year. I applayed for MEXT scholarship 2013 edition and got the recommendation from the embassy and this time only after getting the recommendation I contacted this proffesor again. And this time he wrote he was willing to accept me. I was quite lucky - I contacted only one professor and got possitive answer. I heard people sending tens of emails without even getting any answer. I also have the feeling that when you are already recommended by the embassy when you contact professors they take you more seriously since they already have the proof you are worth something.
