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'.
Hemanta Hazarika, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Hemanta Hazarika of the Faculty of Co-creation Studies specializes in geotechnical engineering, earthquake disaster prevention, and environmental geotechnics. The professor says that concern is growing about disasters caused by climate change accompanying global warming, and that developing technologies to adapt to climate change is an urgent need for society. The professor also points out that natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, and floods are occurring on a large scale around the world, and says that disaster reduction and environmental protection will be made part of the education in the Faculty of Co-creation Studies. In the Faculty of Co-creation Studies, Professor Hazarika teaches courses such as 'Natural Disasters and Resiliency' and 'Geotechnical Disaster Prevention and Sustainability'.
Hironobu Kan, Professor
0 student voices
Building on physical geography, the lab studies the topography of shallow seafloors such as coral reefs, their formation history, and the history of environmental change. The main study regions are the Ryukyu Islands, islands of 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.
Tamao Kasahara, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Tamao Kasahara of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation specializes in river hydrology and biogeochemistry and studies the movement of water and materials in mountain streams and rivers in forests. Mountain streams sometimes cause disasters, but they play various roles in the watershed, such as supplying water, sediment, and nutrients to downstream rivers and sustaining diverse organisms. The lab's research examines how water quality in mountain streams is formed, the habitats of streams, and the effects that changes in the watershed environment and climate have on streams. The lab also studies the movement of water and materials in the hyporheic zone, which extends beneath the streambed and where groundwater and river water mix, with the aim of contributing to the restoration of rivers and watersheds.
