Program-specific Associate Professor
Wildlife Research Center, Japan
I graduated from the Graduate school of Agriculture, Kyoto University in Japan in 2011 with a Ph.D Degree in Agriculture. While in the graduate school, I studied about spermatogonial stem cells. Then, I worked as postdoctoral researcher at Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in the US and started studying ovarian tissue preservation and culture. I moved back to Japan and entered Wildlife Research Center of Kyoto University in 2016 and became program-specific associate professor since 2023. My goal is to contribute to wildlife conservation by ART and I am now conducting a female germplasm bank in wildlife in Japan.
