Takao Kondo

	Takao Kondo is a professor of biological science at Nagoya University in Nagoya, Japan. He is known for being the first to reconstitute the circadian clock in vitro. Kondo received his B.S. in 1970 and his Ph.D. in Biology in 1977 from Nagoya University. He was appointed as an assistant professor at the National Institute for Basic Biology in Okazaki in 1978, and returned to Nagoya University as a professor at the Graduate School of Science in 1995. He discovered a gene cluster Kai ABC as a circadian feedback process in cyanobacteria in 1998, before he succeeded in reconstituting the circadian oscillation of cyanobacterial Kai C phosphorylation in vitro in 2005.
