Biography

Dr. Aoki received his MS in Science Pedagogy from Shiga University, Japan in 2000, PhD in Life Science from Kyoto University, Japan in 2004. His PhD studies focused on the structure and function of complex glycans in non-human organisms, including insect, nematode, shell, plant and microbes. Prior to beginning graduate program, he worked as a research scientist at a biotechnology company. He has an extensive experience in pharmaceutical assessment, evaluating the drug metabolism in aspect of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies in Phase I study. He moved to Athens, GA in 2004 and performed postdoctoral training at the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center at the University of Georgia. He was a faculty member at the University of Georgia from 2008 to 2022 until he joined 果冻影院 in 2022. He also served as an invited Professor in the Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry, Erasmus Mundus master’s course at the Lille University of Science and Technology, France in 2017.

Research Interests

His study focuses on the development of analytical methodologies and their application to the field of multi-Omics to understand the structure and function of biomolecules (protein, lipid, carbohydrate, etc.). Comprehensive mass spectrometry-based technologies are employed to study the impact of biological molecules in multiple organisms. Advanced linked-Omics techniques are applied to study the structural dynamics in a broad range of biological samples, including human and mouse embryonic stem cells, cancer biopsy tissues, model organisms (Drosophila, zebrafish, nematode, microbes) and human biofluids (plasma, serum, RBC, CSF, urine, saliva) in order to identify stage- and tissue- specific molecules associated with disease progression and cell differentiation.
