Sotheary Chhorn

I would like to express my deep appreciation to APSR for this Young Investigator Award. It was my first visit Japan and I was very glad to see a beautiful country and meet the kind people; helpful and always offering a warm greeting.

I had the pleasure of attending the 58th congress of JRS in April 2018 at the International Convention Center in Osaka. This award was my great opportunity to get valuable experience by working with experts from the APSR, JRS and from other countries. It strongly encouraged me to keep going and reach out to a further interesting study and share it at a great congress like this one, again and again.

This wonderful event not only let me know and discuss the new interesting discovery from an international perspective, but also let me share my experience about my study on percutaneous transthoracic biopsies ultrasound guided of lung tumour.

Another wonderful experience was to be a chairperson at the Meeting. I have experience in that role in my country but this was my first time to chair at an international congress. It was so exciting to learn and discuss with participants about their posters; their research and experiences helped me to open my visions and also increase my knowledge.

Once again, thank you so much APSR. I am looking forward to participate again and again in further APSR conferences.
