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

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.
