Douglas Drummond, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Drummond specializes in cytoskeletal proteins and molecular biology at the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation. On the faculty page, the professor says that research on molecular biology and on how proteins function has many applications in medicine and agriculture. At the school, the professor teaches courses related to molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, endocrinology, and nutrition.
Mako Nakamura, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Nakamura's lab studies the process by which skeletal muscle and smooth muscle form, using chicken muscle as its subject. At the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation, the professor is in charge of courses aimed at solving global food problems and of degree projects (graduation research) that use biological methods. The lab aims to develop technologies to increase the number of edible cuts of meat and to produce cultured meat, and it also aims to apply its findings to health science, such as maintaining muscle strength and preventing sarcopenia. Drawing on experience working overseas, the professor supports students who take on study abroad and internships, and also promotes participation in international joint research.
Johan Lauwereyns, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Lauwereyns specializes in cognitive neuroscience and considers decision-making the most important and interesting theme in the professor's own research. The professor says the starting point is the question of how phenomena such as dreams, illusions, memory, and free will can be explained. The professor studied psychology and read philosophy books, but felt that understanding consciousness also requires considering the brain and biology, and so specialized in cognitive neuroscience. The professor says decision-making is appealing because it can bring many different perspectives together into one.
Yukiko Ogino, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Ogino's lab uses fish as a model to study, at the level of genes and hormones, how the diverse secondary sexual traits that appear in males arise. The lab focuses on how secondary sexual traits that differ from species to species relate to the action of androgens and to genome evolution. Drawing on the results of its basic research, the lab is also working to develop technologies for assessing the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on the development and reproduction of organisms. Prof. Ogino also teaches in English in the Faculty of Collaborative Regional Innovation, and puts effort into education that cultivates perspectives spanning fields such as ecology and environmental science.
Eishi Baba, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Baba's lab, part of the Collaborative Oncology division of the Department of Social and Environmental Medicine, conducts clinical research that evaluates diagnosis and treatment in patient populations with conditions such as malignant tumors. The lab also searches for biomarkers related to diagnosis and treatment, using clinical specimens from patients and healthy individuals. Based on the information obtained from specimen analysis, the lab carries out molecular biology and immunology analyses to look for seeds for translational research. In the Faculty of Collaborative Regional Innovation, Prof. Baba teaches "Science of Cancer and Health," a course that aims at a comprehensive understanding of cancer care.
Jose Caaveiro, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Caaveiro's lab specializes in protein engineering and structural biology, and works on developing new therapeutics centered on antibodies and vaccines. In a message to high school students, the professor writes that the lab aims to develop and improve therapeutic approaches for infectious diseases, neurological diseases, disorders of the endocrine and immune systems, and diseases of the heart and blood vessels. The research themes listed in the researcher profile include a theme on using AI in antibody research and a norovirus vaccine. In the Faculty of Collaborative Regional Innovation, the professor teaches pharmaceutical sciences classes within the Research Project course (Human and Life Sciences area), one of the project-based subjects.
Vishwajit Surchowdhury, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The animal nutritional physiology lab studies, in birds, how stress such as heat affects animal physiology and metabolism. It investigates how amino acids and neuropeptides are involved in adaptation to heat stress. In a message to high school students, a faculty member states that their current interest is in controlling stress responses by giving nutrients and bioactive molecules to cells and organisms.
IkJoon Ueno, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor IkJoon Ueno studies, from the standpoint of ecotoxicology, how to protect and maintain safe and reliable water quality using aquatic organisms. Using the behavior of fish and shellfish, the lab mainly monitors the quality of drinking water and river water and evaluates the toxicity of chemical substances in the aquatic environment. The lab focuses on medaka swimming behavior, group behavior, and sound production as signals that aquatic organisms give off in response to environmental changes caused by chemical spills. In education, the lab also engages in learning activities carried out in collaboration with society and companies.
Tsuyoshi Okamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Okamoto Lab, a systems neuroscience lab, experimentally studies the brain's sensory systems and higher-order functions. Its subjects include the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, and thermal sensation, as well as language, memory, learning, emotion, and motivation. The lab also works on environmental comfort, neurofeedback training methods to enhance brain function, applications to biomedical engineering, and evaluating the effects of Future Design. On Kyushu University's researcher information page, the lab is introduced under the name "Tsuyoshi Okamoto Lab".
Kunio Araya, Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Professor Kunio Araya studies biodiversity, focusing mainly on insects, the most diverse group of organisms on Earth. It investigates biodiversity from several perspectives: clarifying and documenting diversity, the mechanisms that generate and maintain it, and its conservation and sustainable use. The lab also works on the conservation of rare insects in Amami and the Ryukyus, the problem of alien species, and the evolution of beetles such as stag beetles. In the Faculty of Co-creation Studies, Professor Araya teaches courses such as 'Global Environment Practicum' and 'Fundamentals of Biodiversity'.
