Professor / DeanAs a lifelong endeavor, I am researching why living organisms require metals for survival, as well as the differences between metals that are essential to life and those that are not. Given that cells contain only trace amounts of metals, I am also developing analytical techniques to measure these metals with high sensitivity. Recently, my research has expanded to analyze not only metals but also a wide range of metabolites.
Recent Topics of Interest:
As biochemistry is the field of study that elucidates the chemical processes related to life and living organisms, necrochemistry can be defined as the study of the chemical processes that originate from the death of organisms. In this context, I am tackling themes in the field of forensic toxicology, such as the transformation of substances within the body after death, and how pharmaceuticals ingested before death or environmental chemicals to which one was exposed change after death (postmortem metabolism).

Assistant ProfessorI am elucidating biological and postmortem phenomena related to drugs and biometals by comprehensive analyses with mass spectrometry. Recently, I developed an ‘isotope pattern screening method’ that enables the selective detection of metabolites and degradation products from drugs and biometals without the use of radioactive labels. This technology has broad applicability and is expected to significantly advance research across diverse scientific fields.
