IMAOKA Tatsuhiko
Director
PhD in science. My areas of expertise are radiation carcinogenesis, mammary gland biology, and quantum life science. With a dedicated focus on studying the scientific mechanisms of radiation-induced carcinogenesis and related basic biology, I aim to provide valuable scientific knowledge to advance radiation protection through the application of findings to risk models.

WANG Bing
Group Leader, Genetic Susceptibility Research Group
I am a medical doctor with a PhD in science and a Master's degree in public health. My research focuses on exploring the mechanisms underlying the modifying effects of dietary habits on radiosensitivity and cancer risk, studying the effects of concurrent exposure to ionizing radiation and psychological stress on genotoxicity and genomic instability, and researching and developing radiation protective agents against both low and high LET radiation. I am also investigating the effects of radiation at low dose and low-dose rate (i.e., adaptive response), as well as the biological effects of high-LET radiation. In addition to my research, I am committed to human resources development in the field of radiation effects research. By cultivating specialists who can become researchers, managers, and policymakers, I hope to promote proactive protection and peaceful utilization of nuclear power in medical and life sciences. Currently, my work using mouse models focuses on investigating the effects of maternal dietary habits on the radiosensitivity of offspring (i.e., carcinogenesis, bone marrow hypoplasia and lifespan shortening). I am also studying the underlying mechanisms of these effects and exploring methods for reducing risk. (Email: wang.bing)
MORIOKA Takamitsu
Group Leader, Archive Utilization and Risk Model Research Group
PhD in medicine. Specialized field: Radiation pathology / Quantum pathology / Cancer prevention. Research content: I study cancer prevention effects by calorie restriction, calorie restriction mimicking agent, phytochemicals, and environmental enrichment for radiation-induced cancer. I also conduct researches using experimental animals to elucidate the carcinogenic risk of chronic low-dose radiation exposure during childhood. (Email: morioka.takamitsu)
IIZUKA Daisuke
Group Leader, Senescence and Inflammation Research Group
DVM, PhD in veterinary medicine. My areas of expertise are radiation carcinogenesis, radiation biology, and stem cell biology. To clarify the mechanism of radiation-induced breast cancer, I am researching to detect the "origin of cancer" by observing changes in mammary gland cells after radiation exposure using genetically modified mice in which stem cells can be identified. I would also like to clarify how early cellular senescence induced by radiation exposure may contribute to carcinogenesis. (Email: iizuka.daisuke)
DAINO Kazuhiro
Group Leader, Biomarker Research Group
PhD in science. Specialized field: Molecular biology, Radiobiology. Research content: I search for genomic and epigenome abnormalities of cancer caused by radiation exposure and study molecular mechanism of radiation carcinogenesis using the latest analysis technology such as next-generation sequencers. (Email: daino.kazuhiro)
KATSUBE Takanori
Senior Principal Researcher, Genetic Susceptibility Research Group
PhD in science. Specialized field: Molecular biology, cell biology, radiobiology. I’m interested in DNA damage repair, biological effects of radiation and their modifiers. (Email: katsube.takanori)
NINOMIYA Yasuharu
Senior Researcher, Archive Utilization and Risk Model Research Group
PhD in medicine. Using mice transplanted with tumors, I analyze how social psychological stress affects the effects of radiation, focusing on immune cells and cancer growth. I explore new mechanisms that prevent cancer from growing in relation to lifestyle-related factors. (Email: ninomiya.yasuharu)
SHANG Yi
Senior Researcher, Senescence and Inflammation Research Group
MD, PhD in science. Using mice, I conduct research on the mechanism of liver cancer development by radiation exposure, and cancer prevention. (Email: shang.yi)
TSURUOKA Chizuru
Senior Researcher, Biomarker Research Group
PhD in science. I study the difference in carcinogenic risk depending on the radiation quality and the period of radiation exposure, using a model mouse that can distinguish between spontaneous and radiation-induced tumor. I also conduct research to mechanism by which difference in radiation quality change the risk of carcinogenesis. (Email: tsuruoka.chizuru)
SUNAOSHI Masaaki
Senior Researcher, Senescence and Inflammation Research Group
PhD in science. I study the carcinogenic mechanism of thymic lymphoma, a radiation-induced tumor in mice. In particular, to clarify the question, how does cancer develop change due to different conditions (age, genetic factors, etc.) at the time of exposure?, I conduct researches focusing on mutations that can occur in cancer bud and the environment inside tissues during the cancer development. (Email: sunaoshi.masaaki)
NAGATA Kento
Senior Researcher, Biomarker Research Group
PhD in life science. Focusing on radiation carcinogenesis in the rat mammary gland, I conduct research to identify the cell of origin of breast cancer through pathological specimen preparation and stem cell analysis. (Email: nagata.kento)
AMASAKI Yoshiko
Researcher, Archive Utilization and Risk Model Research Group
I study the combined effects of radiation and carcinogenic chemicals. In particular, I aim to clarify how radiation exposure during the developmental and fetal stages affects carcinogenesis caused by later exposed carcinogens from mise experiments. (Email: amasaki.yoshiko)
KAKINUMA Shizuko
Visiting Researcher, Biomarker Research Group
Pharmacist, PhD in pharmacy. I specialize in radiobiology, with my interests in radiation carcinogenesis, radiation specific genomic alteration (Radiation Signature) in tumors after irradiation including space radiation and radiation therapy. I am also interested in the mechanism of radiation carcinogenesis and cancer prevention. I hope that our research results will help the general public to understand radiation correctly.
