Research Area of Interest: Protein aggregation by dynamic solution environments and suppression of protein condensation by food ingredients The in vivo environment undergoes dynamic fluctuations due to intracellular flow, electric fields in nerve cells, and concentration changes of substances such as ATP. These dynamic solution environments lead to protein aggregation, which has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases and thrombosis. We utilize NMR to investigate the mechanisms of protein aggregation induced by dynamic solution environments. Furthermore, we examine the suppression of protein aggregation by ATP and food ingredients. Ongoing Projects: Mechanism of protein aggregation by flow and electric field Development of instruments to generate flow and electric field in an NMR tube Protein aggregation suppression by ATP and food ingredients

Pereira, Hiromitsu Samejima, Kanehiro Kitayama, Large-scale mapping of tree-community composition as a surrogate of forest degradation in Bornean tropical rain forests, Land, 5, 45, 2016. Research Area of Interest: I am an ecologist with a broad interest on biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics, mainly focusing on tropical forests in Asia (Borneo) and Central America. I am also working for achieving sustainable forest management in the tropics. Through scientific research, I am willing to contribute to conservationoriented projects. Ongoing Projects: Developing a method to monitor biodiversity and carbon stock at a large spatial scale in tropical forests focusing on Borneo. Across the tropics, logging has caused forest degradation and deforestation, and associated loss of biodiversity. To achieve sustainable forest management in tropical production forests, we are developing a cost-effective method to map biodiversity and carbon in vast areas of production forests. Phosphorus depletion and adaptation of tropical tree species Tropical trees have a variety of adaptation to tropical soils which are typically P-depleted. We are studying what adaptations are needed for plants to thrive in low-P environments, and how these adaptations affect tree growth, survival and reproduction.
