略歴/Biography
Daisuke Suzuki Ph.D. was trained to be an investigator in the field of Experimental Immunology in Tokai University School of Medicine in Japan. In 2009, he moved to the United States and started working as a senior investigator at University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, where he engaged in the epithelial biology to study epithelial tissue homeostasis and diseases through p63 regulation. Then he was appointed as an Assistant Professor at Boston University in USA, working in the field of Molecular and Cellular Biology/Pathobiology, focusing on epithelial stem cells. In 2019, his research base moved to Kobe Gakuin University in Japan, continuing the study of gene regulation in epithelial stem cells. The main interest in his laboratory is to investigate the molecular mechanisms regulating epithelial diseases which are triggered by dysregulation of epithelial stem cells.
