Speakers' Profile
| Satoshi Kida Ph.D. The University of Tokyo. MCCS-Asia President. Research focuses on the mechanisms underlying learning and memory and methods to improve Post-traumatics tress disorders(PTSD) using hippocampal neurogenesis enhancer. |
| Serena M. Dudek Ph.D. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, NIH. Research focuses on the regulation of synaptic effectiveness and how synaptic changes early in development are consolidated to last a lifetime. |
| Yasunori Hayashi Ph.D. Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine. Main interest is underlying the molecular mechanism of learning and memory by approach of multiple levels of studies from molecules to animal behavior: Protein Trafficking and Long-term Potentiation; Liquid-liquid phase separation and synaptic plasticity; Molecular Mechanisms of Structural Plasticity of Dendritic Spines; Dynamic Behavior of Cellular Memory Engram. |
| Aya Ito-Ishida Ph.D. Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN). Research focuses on understanding fundamental mechanisms of postnatal brain development and clarifying the origin of developmental disorders such as autism by studying the roles of synaptic proteins in the maturation of neural circuitry. |
| Katsuhiko Tabuchi Ph.D. Shinshu University School of Medicine. Research focuses on mechanisms of brains function by studying molecules act at synapses and the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders caused by dysfunctions of these molecules. |
| Tomonori Takeuchi Ph.D. Aarhus University. Research focuses on how memories of everyday events, initially stored in the hippocampus, are ‘selected’ and then ‘assimilated’ into a relevant knowledge structure, called schema, in the neocortex; explore the systems-level molecular mechanisms of selective retention of trivial memory through neuromodulation and the assimilation of this retained memory into the relevant schema, using sophisticated behavioural tests in rats combined with cutting-edge molecular techniques. |
| Katsuhiko Mikoshiba Ph.D. Lab for Cell Calcium Signaling, Shanghai Institite for Adavanced Immunochemical Studies (SIAIS), ShanghaiTech University. Research focuses on the role and mechanism of cell signaling molecules, especially the role of Ca2+ signal transduction in cells. |
| Yi Zhong Ph.D. Tsinghua University. Using research on model organisms such as Drosophila and mice, to explore the biological mechanisms of learning, memory and forgetting. Committed to promoting the research on the pathological mechanism of human memory-related diseases and the development of potential therapeutic drugs. |
| Hongjun Song Ph.D. Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Research focuses on neural stem cell regulation and neurogenesis in the developing and adult mammalian brain and how these processes affect neural function; epigenetic and epitranscriptomic mechanisms and their functions in the mammalian nervous system. |
| Guo-li Ming Ph.D. Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Research focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopment and how its dysregulation may contribute to developmental neurological disorders by using two complementary model systems, the genetically modified mouse system and patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) model systems. |
| Kobi Rosenblum Ph.D. Sagol Department of Neurobiology, University of Haifa. Research focuses on how simple sensory information is encoded, consolidated, maintained and retrieved in the cortex and elucidate the biological mechanisms underlying cognitive abilities in the mammalian brain, to better understand cognitive dysfunction, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. |
| Jennifer C. Tudor Ph.D. Saint Joseph’s University. Research focuses on how sleep and disease affects cellular signaling pathways in the brain critical for memory, learning, and behavior. |
| Timothy W. Bredy Ph.D. Queensland Brain Institute, the University of Queensland. Research in the Bredy laboratory is elucidating how the genome is connected to the environment through epigenetic modifications, and how this relationship shapes behaviour throughout life. The group is particularly interested in how epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modifications and the activity of non-coding RNAs, regulate the formation and maintenance of memory. |
| Alan Jung Park Ph.D. Seoul National University College of Medicine. Study on molecular-, genetic-, and brain circuit-level mechanisms of cognitive flexibility with the goal to treat cognitive dysfunctions associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, aging, and sleep disorders. |
| Miou Zhou Ph.D. Western University of Health Sciences. Interested in studying the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. Focus on neuron-glia interactions, and the role of CCR5 and other chemokine receptors in normal learning and memory, as well as in cognitive deficits such as those under stress, in Alzheimer’s disease, and in HIV infection. |
| Eunji Cheong Ph.D. Yonsei University. Committed to comprehensively understanding the mechanism of sensory information processing and control of the conscious state; glial function in sensory processing and thalamic sensory representation; provide novel targets for various neurological disorders accompanying sensory impairment. |
