Yuki Hishikawa

It is a great honor to receive the Student Presentation Award 2022 from the Biophysical Society of Japan. At the presentation, I received incisive questions and comments that got to the core of the matter from researchers in various fileds such as calorimetry, statistical mechanics, molecular simulations, theoretical calculations, and protein engineering. I am glad that I was able to have deep physicochemical discussions with many experts from both experimental and theoretial perspectives. I sincerely thank Professor Takafumi Ueno, Assistant Professor Satoshi Abe, and Specially Appointed Assistant Professor Basudev Maity for guiding me through my research project. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Kouhei Tsumoto and Project Associate Professor Satoru Nagatoishi at The University of Tokyo for their support of the calorimetric measurements; and Assistant Professor Takashi Yoshidome at Tohoku University for the caclulations of hydration entropy. I also thank the members of my laboratory for their support of my research.
