FUKUSHIMA Nobuyuki: Professor Doctor of Philosophy; Department/Life Science　 Graduate school/Science

How is the complex neural circuitry of the brain created, what affects the actions of animals, and what mechanisms do nerves and cancer share? The mysteries behind these questions are delved into using research drawing on molecular biology.
