Brief Bio
My interest in bioinformatics began with a computer programming class which I joined as an undergraduate in biochemistry. I was deeply attracted to doing programming, even with now incredibly poor computational environment, such as a slow CPU, a small amount of memory and a line editor. Finishing the BS degree in Biochemistry and Biophysics, I embarked upon a graduate course of computer sciences to satisfy my interest in computers and software. After completing the ME degree in information engineering, I went in with the Machine Learning group of NEC Research Laboratories in Japan. In NEC I devoted myself to doing research on machine learning and data mining, developing new techniques in these fields as well as considering a lot of modern, real-world problems like telecom churn, campaign management, web access pattern mining and sequence analysis in bioinformatics. I received PhD (Doctor of Sciences) in information sciences in the area of machine learning and bioinformatics, while working with NEC. I then moved to Institute for Chemical Research (ICR) in Kyoto University to focus more on bioinformatics applications and am currently a professor of the Bioinformatics Center of ICR, being jointly appointed as a faculty of the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the same university.
