Shinsei Minoshima
Project Professor / Doctor of Science (Nagoya University)
Fields of specialization
- Medical biology
- Genetics (various diseases in ophthalmology, pediatrics, and neurology)
- Molecular cell biology
- Medical informatics (construction of a database on human disease-related genetic information and symptom)
Supported topics
- National regulations applied to research and development
(e.g., "Ethical Guidelines for Life Sciences and Medical Research Involving Human Subjects") and consultation on how to deal with them - Methodologies for diagnosis and treatment of phenomena and diseases that may be related to individual differences in genes and DNA
- Scientific and technical consultation on the development of equipment
I have many years of experience in research and development using clinical specimens.
The development of instruments for human individuals must be done with careful attention to various ethical issues.
Personal information must be protected with the utmost care.
In addition, a larger number of specimens of humans are required than in animal experiments because it is known that individual differences in DNA have an unexpectedly large impact on human diseases and health conditions.
I may accept consultation on relevant research and development, including methodologies, data handling, and dealing with government regulations. because in my previous position (Vice President for Research at Hamamatsu University School of Medicine), I served on various committees/board such as: Ethics Committee for Human Genome/Genetic Analysis Research, Recombinant DNA Experiment Safety Committee, Research Fairness Office, Ethics Education Office, and Center for the Promotion of Industry-Academia Collaboration and Intellectual Property Utilization.
