The Distinguished Senior Scientist program was launched in March 2009 to make it possible to rehire retired Chief Scientists who have achieved superior research results and shown excellent leadership skills, for a maximum period of up to five years.
The guiding principle of our research is “listen to the whisper of nature.” In addition, we are interested in the formation processes of antiprotonic atoms under single collision conditions.
Our laboratory aims to solve the mechanism of transcriptional control via analyzing transcriptional regulators. Most of the transcription factors of animal cells were identified by cDNA cloning in the 1980s, and the efforts to solve their structures and physiological roles using KO mice have continued.
