Takashi Yoshimura


	Takashi Yoshimura is currently a Professor of Animal Physiology in the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM) and the Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences, Nagoya University. He is also a Visiting Professor in the National Institute for Basic Biology, Japan. Work in Yoshimura laboratory focuses on understanding the molecular mechanism of seasonal time measurement in vertebrates. The uniqueness of his research lies in the use of various vertebrate species such as Japanese quail, chicken, hamster, mouse, salmon and medaka. By applying functional genomics approach, he has uncovered the signal transduction pathway regulating seasonal reproduction in vertebrates. He is currently applying chemical biology and forward genetics approaches to understand the mechanism of seasonal time measurement. He currently serves as board member of Japanese Society of Chronobiology and Society for Research on Biological Rhythms, editorial board of Journal of Biological Rhythms, and fellow of Royal Society for Biology (FRSB).
