Professor MD, PhD

Nobuhiko Ohno

I am attracted to observing structures of cells and organelles with my eyes and interested in the mechanisms and roles of their regulations. My recent focuses are on myelin formation by oligodendrocytes, pathophysiology of myelin diseases, and mitochondrial dynamics.

Professor (Concurrent post) PhD

Motoshi Kikuchi

Associate professor MD, PhD

Hirotaka Nagai

I study the mechanisms of brain dysfunction caused by stress and aging, focusing on metabolic processes and neural circuit remodeling. My research also explores the interaction between the brain and body, aiming to uncover the underlying mechanisms of depression and dementia and to develop effective treatments.

Assistant professor PhD

Reiji Yamazaki

I am interested in the molecular mechanism of myelin formation and regeneration in oligodendrocytes, and my research goal is to develop therapies for refractory demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Assistant professor PhD

Yasuyuki Osanai

I am focusing on relation between neuronal plasticity and myelin formation. I am trying to understand how environmental stimuli shape neuronal circuit and myelin, and modulate animal behaviors.

Part-time lecturer Researcher PhD

Midori Nagai

I have been interested in the mechanism of human thought and behavior, which led me to the field of neuroscience. I'm currently researching how social stress impacts the prefrontal cortex in mice, particularly looking at changes in its function, structure, and associated behavior. I have a background in pharmacy.

Adjunct researcher PhD

Abe Makoto

I study podocyte and urinary protein selectivity. In the future, I would like to discover new perspectives by analyzing 3D electron microscopy images of each kidney disease.
