GBI Job Shadowing Program at OIST Imaging Core Facility

This is my first experience doing international job shadowing to the imaging core facilities supported by Global Bioimaging, and I was very grateful for the opportunity. I did job shadowing for a full week in Scientific Imaging Section (IMG) at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and it was a fruitful visit since I got the opportunity to learned about technical and managerial from the imaging specialist there. I experienced their daily activity from managing the facility, maintaining instruments, consulting for user research development and also state-of-art technology in bioimaging from the imaging scientists in IMG-OIST. This is very important for the early development imaging facility such initiated in Indonesia, and also great opportunity for imaging scientist to catch up with current technology of imaging. Scientific Imaging Section – OIST is one of the biggest and complete imaging facility in global. They also have good managerial system for the multi-user facility and for research development. Such great place to do job shadowing program. Besides, the institute have a wonderful sea view and beach nearby. Great vibes!

Thank you for Global Bioimaging and Scientific Imaging Section - OIST to support this program, and thank you for all staffs and scientist in the Scientific Imaging Section – OIST for sharing the experience in bioimaging, also for a fun week in Okinawa.
