In addition, he visited the Labs of Prof. Shuji Mori at Kyushu University in Fukuoka and the Lab of Ass. Prof. Hiroki Nakamoto at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Kanoya. In several meetings also the Japanese hosts and members of their respective labs presented their ongoing research which led to stimulating discussions that may lead to joint German-Japanese research initiatives in the future.
