Biography

Dr. Ikeshima-Kataoka was graduated from Keio Univ. Sch. Med. (Dept. of Microbiol.) and received Ph.D. on development of the CNS specific gene expressing transgenic mice and analyzed developmentally. For the postdoctoral fellow (NIN, Japan), researched on the neuronal development using fly genetics. Then, promoted back to Keio Univ. Sch. Med. (Dept. Neuroanat.) and started to focus on “reactive astrocytes” and performed neuroimmunological analysis in injured mouse brains and found some molecules at Keio Univ. Sch. Med. (Dept. Pharmacol. & Neurosci.). Furthermore, performed in vivo imaging analysis on mouse brains with two photon laser microscopy to reveal functional role of “reactive astrocytes” at Waseda Univ. Recently, moved to Kitasato University to analyze contribution of glial cells in fish CNS injury.
