ABOUT MAKOTO HORIUCHI
Highly motivated and innovative neurobiologist with deep knowledge in neuroimmunology, microglia, CNS remyelination, neurodegenerative diseases, and AAV-based gene therapy. High level skills in cellular (cell line, primary, and hiPSCs), molecular, and biochemical experiments, animal studies, and data analysis including transcriptome analysis Developed novel cell and animal models to study molecular mechanisms of CNS diseases Identified potential therapeutic targets to treat CNS demyelinating diseases and neuroinflammation Project lead of AAV-based gene therapy development for neurodegenerative diseases and CNS myelin diseases (Pre-clinical and IND-enabling studies using rodents and non-human primates) Highly collaborative with interdisciplinary mind and excellent communication skills. Keen in the scientific rigor as essential factor for facilitated development of novel therapeutics Career goal: To be a scientific leader who will develop novel gene and cell therapies for currently incurable CNS diseases by combining my strength with new technologies 31 peer-reviewed publications (10 primary author papers, 1 corresponding author paper) Publication list: Citation metrics:
