Profile
I received my Ph.D. from Niigata University for research about effect of dioxins on the large Japanese field mouse. Currently, I am studying about effect of radiation exposure on the large Japanese field mouse.
Main Focus of Research
- Effect of radiation exposure on DNA mutation in the next generations.
- Mechanism of Cesium accumulation in the large Japanese field mouse.
- Radiation dose assessment using hard tissue samples.
Fields of Research
Animal ecology, Molecular ecology
Keywords
Radiation, the large Japanese field mouse, gene
Research Overview
I am investigating whether radiation levels within Fukushima’s difficult-to-return zones cause oxidative stress and DNA mutations in the large Japanese field mice, and whether these mutations are passed on to next generations. I am also examining the prey organisms contributing to radioactive caesium accumulation in this mouse.
A few words
I scientifically elucidate the effects of radiation on wildlife and disseminate accurate information regarding the relationship between environmental radiation and organisms based on the obtained data. Through the provision of accurate information based in scientific evidence, I will contribute to environmental conservation and societal decision making.
