Why I Became a Researcher
When I was in graduate school, I was able to engage in the microanalysis of "endocrine disrupting chemicals (environmental hormones)," which gained attention throughout Japan, and I conducted an exposure evaluation for humans. At that time, I witnessed the emotion and passion of teachers at the National Institute of Health Sciences and regional health institutes to contribute to public health. And at that time, I realized that the results of my analysis would affect society and lead to better lifestyles. After that, I decided to become an analytical chemistry researcher in public health and clinical chemistry.
Research Information
Research Area and Theme
Applied Analytical Chemistry for Regulatory Science
I am aiming to develop new measurement techniques that focus on the clinical/food fields using chromatography and mass spectrometry.
Thoughts on Research Theme
Our laboratory aims to examine efficient, high-sensitivity, high-precision techniques from various target samples, centering on physicochemical analysis techniques (chromatography, mass spectrometry, etc.). We also promote joint research with many research institutions, hospitals, universities, and companies, in aim of achieving results that are desired by society.
Message to Students
The results that we produce affect society
In the field of analytical chemistry, measurement results are everything. I don't particularly view speculation, hypotheses, common theory and similar items as important. However, I want us to be confident in our results and be aware that their value will affect society. Also, it requires hard work, and also luck to get to that point, including things like the process leading up to the obtainment of your analysis results and support for your results. There are also things that you can't do alone, and things you can accomplish with a team. We will always keep our laboratory focused on "results."
