Liangning Lu reflects on experiences and insights from BTI and University of Tokyo research exchange program.

By Lance Janssen

As part of an ongoing academic exchange program, colleagues from the BioTechnology Institute at the University of Minnesota and the University of Tokyo have worked together to further their research and teaching efforts since 2017. In addition to sharing research as well as hosting symposia, the exchange also brings the opportunity for graduate students to do research and train at each others’ institutions. Liangning Lu, a graduate student at the University of Tokyo, is a participant in the exchange program, conducting research with Dr. Satoshi Ishii at the U of M. We recently caught up with Lu to hear more about her time in the Twin Cities. 

What are you currently working on?
In Dr. Ishii’s lab, my current focus is on applying molecular biology techniques to better understand the mechanisms of two important steps in denitrification. I am particularly fascinated by the study of denitrifying microorganisms because N2O, as a greenhouse gas, poses a threat to the environment, and these emissions mostly originate from soil microorganisms.  

What interested you in coming to the University of Minnesota to do research?
Choosing the University of Minnesota for my research was driven by its outstanding reputation in the field of soil agronomy. The collaborative and innovative environment here aligns perfectly with my research interests. Additionally, the well-established experimental fields and faculty resources available at the University further informed my decision.

What part of your experience has stood out the most? What’s been the most challenging?
The most standout aspect of my experience has been the application of micro-sensor technology for simultaneous measurement of N2O and O2. This technique ingeniously achieves a simple and high-throughput detection of N2O. On the flip side, one of the most challenging aspects has been applying molecular biology principles to disrupt genes in microorganisms. This process involves many meticulous steps, and the need for precision in each step has given me a profound appreciation for rigorous scientific inquiry.  

What about this experience do you think is unique for visiting researchers?
What makes this experience unique for visiting scholars is that this academic visit not only facilitated meaningful academic exchange and provided me with a wealth of knowledge, but also included extensive cultural interactions. It provided me with a more comprehensive understanding of the open and egalitarian academic atmosphere in the United States, which greatly enhanced the richness of my research journey.

BioTechnology Institute members travel to the University of Tokyo to strengthen research ties.

By Lance Janssen

Despite hours-long flights and an ocean of separation, researchers from the BioTechnology Institute (BTI) and the University of Tokyo have close connections. This past November, eight BTI faculty members traveled to Japan for a shared research symposium as a continued piece of an academic exchange program launched between the two institutions in 2017. With common research focus areas in areas like ​​microbial engineering, synthetic biology, protein design and environmental engineering, as well as opportunities to build connections and train students, the initiative aims to offer opportunities that will advance research and educational efforts for both BTI and the University of Tokyo.

“Our hope is that we can build collaborations with researchers that have shared interest areas and complementary scientific skills and expertise,” says Jeff Gralnick, a professor in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology and a BTI member. “By establishing a student and postdoc exchange program, we also hope to provide important learning experiences for our trainees.”

Gralnick attended this year’s symposium along with Alptekin Aksan from the College of Science and Engineering, Christine Salomon from the College of Pharmacy and Medical School, as well as Michael Freeman, Kate Adamala, Michael Travisano and Claudia Schmidt-Dannert from the College of Biological Sciences. The symposium not only offered researchers the chance to share some of their research endeavors in Minnesota, but also build closer connections with their Tokyo counterparts. 

“The University of Tokyo is the premier research institution in Japan – with excellent research groups that conduct complementary research to BTI faculty,” says Schmidt-Dannert, head of BTI and a professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics. “Through this symposium we were able to learn first-hand about specific research conducted at the University of Tokyo through lectures, visits to labs and meetings with students, researchers and faculty – both in a formal but also more informal setting – and get insights into the academic environment and culture in Japan.”

Over the course of their visit, the BTI team took part in the symposium, as well as tours to the Mt. Fuji area, a formal banquet with colleagues and a visit to the National Institute of Genetics. These experiences offered researchers the chance to not only learn about research and visit a new city, but also future research opportunities for years to come.

“I think all of us identified areas of overlap for research collaboration,” says Schmidt-Dannert. “Some concrete connections have already been made that will result in material exchange and hosting of students and postdocs. We will use all of the knowledge and experience gathered to identify and apply for joint funding opportunities and develop a program that will allow for an exchange of graduate students and potentially postdocs between BTI and University of Tokyo labs.”
