Hisafumi Chikamori

Research assistant

(Research Interests)

Previous research: Neuropathology (glioblastoma), neuronal cell biology (expression of Peg10). Future plans: What is bioinformatics? I have been grasping it ambiguously. But I heard there are many “-informatics”-including journal name. So currently I am interested in “neuroinformatics” and so on, which was my major. And I want to widen my perspectives through these journals. Hobbies: Language Favorite expression: See the Good In Others.
