The great experiences in the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical city in the world

Abstract

I had a great opportunity to research abroad in the Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI) for 1.5 years. HMRI is located in the Texas Medical Center (TMC) which is the largest medical city in the world. Professor Ennio Tasciotti in HMRI is proceeding with the Biomimetic Nanoparticles research projects for clinical application. While I dedicated to this project, I learned the effective team building strategies as well as the research and discussion skills with the multinational members having their own cultures and working styles. In addition, HMRI and TMC gave me a lot of chances to attend the interesting lectures and conferences to broaden my knowledge from basic to clinical sciences. The amazing encounters with researchers and medical doctors in TMC made my Houston life exciting and fulfilling. This article describes my experiences in HMRI and TMC.
