Xuan sensei had a talk about sharing experience in agricultural digital: Perspectives from Japan to Vietnam

Biochem

On September 16, 2021, Xuan sensei performed a speech entitled “Agricultural digital transformation and application of science and technology in agriculture in Japan” at a Virtual Conference & Virtual Studio Event “Vietnam Agriculture Digital Transformation International Forum 2021: Keeping up with market trends, ensuring the pivotal role of the economy during and after Covid-19 pandemic”.

The speech received much attention from domestic and international scientists and delegates.

In the current context that the Japan-Vietnam cooperative relationship is getting better, the experience in Agriculture Digital Transformation in Japan shared by Xuan sensei is important and essential for improvement and development of the agricultural sector of Vietnam.

Vnexpess, the most read Vietnamese paper, has cited Xuan sensei’s speech.

Our research has been posted on HU news

Biochem

The news entitled “Invasive weed may help treat some human diseases, researchers find” has been released on the homepage of Hiroshima University, which summarized our study.

In the research, we found that A. virginicus extracts appear to be effective against several human diseases, including diabetes and cancer. The results were published on Dec. 31, 2020, in a special issue of Plants journal, titled “Biological Activities of Plant Extracts.”
