Faculty of Science / Membrane Protein Research Center, Chiba University
Professor, DirectorMembrane proteins play important roles in intercellular communication and are crucial targets for drug discovery. It is known that over 60% of commercially available drugs act on membrane proteins. In 2022, Chiba University established a research center dedicated to membrane protein research, where we focus on the production of membrane proteins, the development of structure-function analysis techniques, and the development of new drugs.
Motto in Research or in Life:
Walk the talk: Aligning what I think is important, what I say, and what I do.

Faculty of Science, Chiba University
Associate ProfessorI am engaged in synthesizing and functionalizing nanomaterials, using nanospaces and interfaces for molecular control. In particular, I work with nanocarbons such as graphene and carbon nanotubes to discover new molecular control mechanisms and achieve high thermocatalytic activity through the creation of nano-sized catalysts. In addition, I am investigating the behavior of molecules at interfaces using computational chemistry techniques.
Recent Topics of Interests: Interfacial behavior of graphene, Catalyst for CO2 reduction

ProfessorI conduct research to identify beneficial catalytic effects utilizing solid surfaces and investigate the underlying mechanism with the latest analytical methods. Chemical reactions consist of complex elementary processes. By elucidating the reaction pathway of catalytic processes occurring at the surface, our goal is to develop excellent catalysts that can contribute to a sustainable society.
Recent Topics of Interest: Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels, Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into resources
Motto in Research or in Life:
Persevere and stay committed until the very end.
Even when things are going well, maintain consistent and unwavering efforts.

Associate ProfessorNo two individuals share the exact same facial features, and similarly, no two individuals possess identical patterns of thought. This diversity and individual variations also exist in organisms other than humans.
My research focuses on understanding the process by which these individual differences are shaped during the evolutionary time scale. Additionally, I aim to explore the functional significance of individual variations within groups of organisms.
Recent Topics of Interest: I have keen interests not only in elucidating the functions of diversity from a biological point of view, but also in applying the “power” of diversity to the fields of industry, agriculture, and engineering.
Motto in Research or in Life: Cherishing my “unique perspective on things,” firmly believing in it, and confronting various events and phenomena. Additionally, embracing a balanced sense of self-doubt.
Hobby / Holiday: Spending time with my children
