My career as surgeon has firstly started after graduation. In the early stage, I was interested in the field of organ transplantation in which important research problems have been recognized such as the suppression of rejection responses and the method of organ preservation. As my research subject at the graduate school, I embarked on the topic of organ preservation, especially oxidative stress caused by blood reperfusion. My doctoral degree was given to my work regarding the condition of free radical generation in vitro based on EPR method. Since then I have been working on the research topic of oxidative stress for long periods. It seems to me that first motivation is always important. Since my interest was particularly focused on the liver, in terms of oxidative stress on the liver and hepatocyte, organ preservation, ischemia\/reperfusion injury for transplantation have been studied in molecular biological methods. At Johns Hopkins University I had conducted the research works on rac1 GTPase, as a regulator of oxidative stress, and the regulation (production and scavenging mechanism) of intracellular ROS (reactive oxygen species). At National Center for Child Health and Development I carried out the research about cell proliferation\/death regulation by redox balances. Since I have moved to Hokkaido University, besides the continued topic on molecular mechanism of liver injury\/reproduction and functional maintenance, I newly began the bioimaging research subjected for in vivo monitoring which enables to observe actual pathological conditions, which have been investigated.
\n I am currently conducting the research for visualization of intracellular molecular mechanisms using the imaging technique utilizing \u201clight\u201d, and in short, my laboratory can be called \u201cLiver, Stress and Imaging Laboratory\u201d. I would like to propel my research activity together with many collaborators rather than by myself, pleasantly and strictly.<\/p>\n

\"\"The liver has tremendous regenerative potential, and it starts proliferating the number of cells and regains its original size upon injury or surgical removal. My major subject of research is to elucidate the mechanism for hepatic damage\/regeneration. Proper functions of many molecules in hepatic cells are important to keep liver healthy in response to variable conditions. While I have been working on it, I recognized some difficulties in figuring out the cellular signaling in detail. Recently we are developing a strategy to analyze them using \u201coptical probe\u201d in chemiluminescent or fluorescent methods. I expect that this technique makes it possible to observe the molecular signaling in living organs on a real-time basis.<\/p>\n

\"\"I had obtained the doctoral degree of science from the graduate school of science, Hokkaido University. I had been working as a research fellow of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Japan Science and Technology Agency, and Agency of Industrial Science and Technology. In 2001, I entered the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and became a group leader at bioproduction research institute. From the same year I concurrently experienced as a visiting associate professor at graduate school of agriculture, Hokkaido University, and at graduate school of medicine, Hokkaido University (until 2012). After that I have been working at graduate school of health sciences, Hokkaido University. Since 2008, I have started the collaborative work with this laboratory and learned the methods for experiments on cells as well as animals. Recently I\u2019m working on the design\/production of a probe for molecular-imaging and its usage. My hobbies; sporting, watching sports, driving a car, fishing and discovering good restaurants.

I am currently working in this laboratory as a collaborative researcher. I have been engaging a project for years and I know well the good atmosphere in the lab. Despite the fact that I am the only one who was born in Sapporo among the people in the lab, I like neither snow, nor cold season, nor even hot weather. Now I enjoy working with the cheerful members here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
