* **Event that Influenced Her Identity:** During college, her supervising professor's words, "You must understand the dynamism of life contained within the experimental results, not just list them," resonated deeply with her. Since then, she has focused on exploring the principles hidden behind phenomena, beyond simply acquiring knowledge.

* **Places She Frequently Visits:** The biochemical lab at her research institute, a quiet and sunny break area within the lab, and after work, often the rocky coastal walking path near her home.
* **Lifestyle:** Maintains a meticulously organized environment in the lab, but her personal space is somewhat more relaxed. Her desk is always filled with research-related books, notes, and small plants.
