ABOUT ME
After receiving the PhD from Kyoto University in 1998 for studies on genetic analysis of rat models of human diseases, I moved to National Cancer Center Research Institute and continued the research. In 2002 I returned to Kyoto University to be involved in research, education and management in Institute of Laboratory Animals, Graduate School of Medicine. In 2018 I moved to Tokyo University of Agriculture.
