Career
He served as a postdoctoral fellow at the Cancer Institute, Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research to investigate the cDNA of Interferon gene with Tadatsugu Taniguchi. In 1998, he and his colleagues found the atypical PKC-specific interacting protein (ASIP) which is mammalian homologue of Caenorhabditis elegans Par3. This led to the finding of a conserved Par3-Par6-atypical PKC complex responsible for regulating cell polarity.
