Biography:
Sho Yamasaki is Proessor and head of the division of Molecular Immunology at the Research Institute for Microbial Diseases and Immunology Frontier Research Center at Osaka University as well as visiting Professor at Chiba University.
After graduation from Kyoto University (Ms) in 1993, he started immunology research in Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (1993-1999).  In 1999, he received his PhD from Kyoto University for his study with Makio Iwashima on T cell antigen receptor signaling.  Then he worked with Takashi Saito at Chiba University (1999-2004) and RIKEN RCAI (2004-2009) on the signal transduction of immune receptors, such as TCR and FceRI.  In 2009, he started the Moleular Immunology Laboratory at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, where he holds the position of professor (2009-2017).  He took his current position at Osaka University from 2017.  His laboratory focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the recognition of pathogen and endogenous insults through ITAM-coupled immune receptors.  Of particular interest is the regulation of immune responses to internal and external insults through C-type lectin receptors and innate-type T cell receptors.  His Laboratory is also developing a platform analyzing human T ell clonotypes specific for pathogens.
