Biography
Kondo brings a high level of additional expertise to our group of editors. In 2012 he was appointed as a full professor at the Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan. His laboratory studies how neural stem/precursor cells are involved in the development of CNS diseases, such as brain tumor and Alzheimer’s disease. He is particularly interested in identifying new molecules associated with these disorders, characterizing them and developing new therapeutic methods. He has also a keen interest in the molecular mechanism of oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation. He hopes one day the knowledge gained from his work will contribute to the development of therapeutic applications.
