Yuichiro Nakajima is an Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences. His research focuses on regenerative biology, particularly the mechanisms that enable certain organisms to regenerate their bodies. By studying species with high regenerative capabilities, Nakajima aims to uncover genetic factors that could be applied to improve stem cell function and combat aging in more complex organisms, including humans. His work explores the evolutionary aspects of regeneration and seeks to develop novel therapeutic approaches for age-related diseases and tissue repair.
