Kiyohiko Igarashi (Kiyo) is an Associate Professor of Forest Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Biomaterial Sciences, Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences in the University of Tokyo. He received PhD degree in 1999 from Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences in the University of Tokyo. Before receiving PhD, he focused on the kinetic analysis of cellobiose dehydrogenase, extracellular flavocytochrome produced by filamentous fungi, with the late Professor Karl-Erik L. Eriksson (University of Georgia) and Professor Masahiro Samejima (University of Tokyo). After receiving the degree, he spent one year in Uppsala University (Sweden) from 2000 to 2001 as a PostDoc, and returned the same lab in the University of Tokyo as an Assistant Professor. Currently he is doing kinetics of cellulase and other CAZymes combined with 3D structure. In addition, he is now focusing on the single molecular observations of cellulase and chitinase acting at the solid/liquid interface.
He loves staying in forest and mountainside, and lives very close to [Mt. Takao-sanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Takao], one of the most famous mountains in Tokyo (in Japan?) and Tama Forest Science Garden[1]. However, he spends totally 2.5 hrs by train to go to the lab and back to his residence everyday. He is a (self-professed) good Dad of three kids (one boy and two girls) playing tennis and radio-controlled car, and going fly- and lure-fishing with them. He also plays Billiard for more than 20 years, so please play with him at GRC meeting.
