Research Statement
Dr. Katsuyuki Shiroguchi is a Unit Leader in RIKEN Quantitative Biology Center, Japan. He started his research career in biophysics, and he received "Early Research in Biophysics Award" from The Biophysical Society of Japan in 2005, and 1st Place Poster Award from Gordon Research Conference: Single Molecule Approaches to Biology in 2006 on understanding working mechanism of a molecular motor studied by single molecule dynamics observation under a microscope. Later, he shifted to genomics research, and is currently working on multidisciplinary research based on experience from the both research fields, biophysics and omics. He is mainly working on methogological developement: he developed digital RNA sequencing, and working on high throughput single cell analysis using next generation seqencer.
