Principal Investigator
Takeshi Inagaki, M.D., Ph.D.
Takeshi Inagaki is Professor of Laboratory of Epigenetics and Metabolism at the Institute for Molecular and Cellular Regulation, Gunma University. He earned his M.D., Ph.D. from Shinshu University, Nagano, Japan. From 2002-2008, he was a postdoctoral fellow and instructor in the laboratory of Drs. Steven Kliewer and David Mangelsdorf at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he studied the roles of nuclear receptors and endocrine FGFs. From 2008–2016, he was an assistant and associate professor at Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, the University of Tokyo, where he studied metabolic regulations mediated by histone modifiers with Prof. Juro Sakai. From 2016, he runs a laboratory at Gunma University. He has been interested in transcriptional regulation mechanism and is investigating the epigenetics and chromatin remodeling governing energy metabolism.
