Douglas Drummond, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Douglas Drummond specializes in cytoskeletal proteins and molecular biology. The professor says that research on molecular biology and on how proteins work has many applications in medicine and agriculture, and could offer solutions to problems facing society. At the same time, the professor points out that the more becomes technically possible, the more questions arise about what is desirable in terms of the economy and human health and well-being. The professor says that students in the Faculty of Arts and Science learn not only the content of individual subjects, but can also bring together knowledge from related fields, see the whole picture, and work on solving problems.
Johan Lauwereyns, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Johan Lauwereyns's research in cognitive neuroscience starts from the question of what it means to be human. The professor is interested in how phenomena such as dreams, illusions, memory, and free will can be explained, and read books on philosophy while majoring in psychology. Feeling that truly understanding consciousness requires considering the brain and biology as well, the professor chose cognitive neuroscience as a specialty. In the professor's own research, decision making is the most important and interesting topic, and the professor finds appeal in the way many different perspectives come together.
Jose Caaveiro, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Caaveiro's lab specializes in protein engineering and structural biology, and researches the development of new therapeutics centered on antibodies and vaccines. The lab aims to develop and improve treatments for infectious diseases, neurological diseases, endocrine and immune disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. The professor belongs to the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and, in the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation, teaches a Research Project course (Human and Life domain).
Vishwajit Surchowdhury, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Animal Nutritional Physiology Lab studies how stress affects the body's mechanisms and metabolism, focusing on nutrients and bioactive substances. Using chicks, the lab examines how body temperature and feed intake change under heat stress. The lab also focuses on how amino acids and neuropeptides are involved in adaptation to stress. Courses taught in the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation include the Research Project course (Human and Life domain) "Nutritional Physiology."
IkJoon Ueno, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Ueno, who specializes in ecotoxicology, conducts research using aquatic organisms to protect and maintain safe, reliable water quality. Using the behavior of fish and shellfish as clues, the lab monitors the quality of drinking water and river water and evaluates the toxicity of chemicals in the water. Aquatic organisms send out signals in response to environmental changes caused by chemical spills. Monitoring these signals (the swimming behavior, group behavior, and sound production of medaka) is the research theme. The lab aims to protect wildlife and human health from harmful environmental pollutants and to maintain ecosystems.
Tsuyoshi Okamoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Okamoto Lab studies the brain's sensory systems and higher-order functions such as memory, learning, and emotion. Focusing on vision, hearing, smell, and thermal sensation, the lab conducts experiments including electroencephalography (EEG), evoked potential recording, fMRI measurement, and psychophysical measurement. The lab also works on data analysis (waveform analysis, image analysis, statistical analysis, and more) and on theory using mathematical models, computational models, and numerical simulation. Beyond clarifying how the senses work, the lab also aims to create something new, such as comfortable environments and methods for enhancing brain function.
Kunio Araya, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Araya studies insects, the most diverse group of organisms on Earth, to clarify and document biodiversity, to understand the mechanisms by which it is created and maintained, and to pursue its conservation and sustainable use. The lab also works on research that aims to create water symbiosis studies by clarifying the dynamics of water cycle systems, as well as on the conservation of rare insects of Amami and the Ryukyus. The lab is also actively involved in social implementation, applying research results to environmental policy and other areas. Prof. Araya is a Professor in the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation, and teaches in graduate schools including the Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Global Society.
Hironobu Kan, Professor
0 student voices
The Kan Lab, grounded in physical geography, studies the topography of shallow seafloors such as coral reefs, their formation history, and the history of environmental change. The main study areas are the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa and southern Kagoshima Prefecture), islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and Australia. With the sea as its theme, the lab carries out interdisciplinary research spanning the natural sciences to the humanities and social sciences, advancing a comprehensive understanding of the environment. In the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation, the lab is in charge of project research in the Earth and Environment area and of practicum courses in environmental geography.
Junko Kusumi, Professor
0 student voices
The molecular evolution lab of Professor Junko Kusumi aims to understand how organisms evolve, and works to clarify the mechanisms of evolution at the genetic level. The lab also works to clarify how genetic variation is maintained. In particular, the lab studies the molecular evolution of symbiotic and parasitic systems, and conducts population genetic research on a wide variety of organisms.
Yoshihiro Kuwahara, Professor
0 student voices
The Mineralogy Lab (Yoshihiro Kuwahara) investigates, at the nanoscale and atomic scale, the reactions of growth and dissolution of mineral crystals that occur at the interface between minerals and water. The lab also carries out its research with an interest in the relationship between these reactions and global climate change and environmental change. Mineral growth and dissolution reactions are thought to affect groundwater quality, soil weathering, the movement and remediation of pollutants, and even the global climate. In the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation, the lab is in charge of "Earth's Changes," a course in the Earth and Environment area.
