Biography
Dr. Ikeshima-Kataoka was graduated from Keio University School of Medicine (Department of Microbiology) and got Ph.D. on the functional analysis of three calmodulin genes using transgenic mice. At the National Institute of Neuroscience as a postdoctoral fellow, researched on the molecular mechanism of neuronal development using fly genetics. Then, promoted back to Keio University School of Medicine (Department of Neuroanatomy) and started to focus on to the “reactive astrocytes” in injured mouse brain. At Jikei University School of Medicine, joined to immunological team in Institute of DNA Medicine and focus on to neuroimmunological analysis in injured brain using knockout mice. Then, promoted back to Keio University School of Medicine (Department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience) and found that some important molecules are concerned in neuroimmunological functions around injury site of the brain using microarray analysis. Now, using in vivo imaging system with live mouse to analyze functional role of “reactive astrocytes” around injured brain at Waseda University, Faculty of Science and Engineering.
