Biography:
Dr. Kaori Suzuki received a Master of Agricultural Chemistry from Tokyo University of Agriculture in 1997. Through her engagements in several fields of biomedical research at The University of Tokyo and Juntendo University as a research assistant, she became fascinated with the beauty of vasculature, the network that connects all parts of the body. Then she enrolled in the Graduate School of Medicine and received her PhD at Juntendo University (Department of Host Defense and Biochemical Research) in 2012 by demonstrating the vascular protective anti-apoptotic action of host defense peptide LL-37. Now her research interests include how vascular cells acquire tissue/organ-specific characters in the places, and the visualization of vascular events in cellular resolution using 3D imaging technology.
