Hitoshi Okamura Biography

Hitoshi Okamura is one of the most popular and richest Biologist who was born on December 2, 1952 in Japan.

Hitoshi Okamura received his undergraduate, medical, and doctorate in science degrees from the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine. After training as a pediatrician at the Children’s Medical Center of the Okayama National Hospital (1979-1981), he worked on neuroanatomy at the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine (1981-1995). He was then a Professor of Brain Sciences at the Kobe University School of Medicine from 1995-2008. Since 2007, he has worked as a Professor of Systems Biology at the Kyoto University Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Since 2014, he has worked as the Research Director of the Japan Science Technology Institute, CREST. His work has focused on understanding mammalian circadian rhythms.

Okamura began his study of circadian rhythms in 1982 with the peptide work in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) using the technique of histochemistry in Yasuhiko Ibata’s laboratory in the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine. He established quantitative histochemistry of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the 1980s, and together with Shin-Ichi Inouye, established in vitro slice cultures of the SCN in the early 1990s.

Hitoshi Okamura Net Worth

Hitoshi Okamura (born December 2, 1952) is a Japanese scientist who specializes in chronobiology. He is currently a Professor of Systems Biology at Kyoto University Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Research Director of the Japan Science Technology Institute, CREST. Okamura’s research group cloned mammalian Period genes, visualized clock oscillation at the single cell level in the central clock of the SCN, and proposed a time- signal neuronal pathway to the adrenal gland. He received a Medal of Honor with Purple Ribbon in 2007 for his research and was awarded Aschoff’s Ruler for his work on circadian rhythms in rodents. His lab recently revealed the effects of mA mRNA methylation on the circadian clock, neuronal communications in jet lag, and the role of dysregulated clocks in salt-induced hypertension.
