Yasuhito Shimada, MD., PhD.
Assistant Professor, Department of Integrative Pharmacology, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine.
I started ZEBRAFISH research since 2004.
My research theme is to reveal novel mechanisms against human disease, especially OBESITY and CANCER.
My major research techniques are transcriptome analysis and chemical screening using disease models of zebrafish, based on comparative genomics between zebrafish, mouse and human.
