Biography

Kazuyuki Nakamura is serving for the promotion of human proteomics as a HUPO Council member, a member of Education & Training (E&T) Committee, a co-chair of Human Disease Glycomics Proteome Initiative (HGPI), an advisory member of Human Kidney and Urine Proteome Project (HKUPP), an AOHUPO Vice President (E&T Mission), a member of Membrane Proteomics Initiative (MPI), and a Past President of Japan HUPO. He is active in Education and Training of young scientists in Asia not only as a Member of HUPO E&T Committee and a President of Japanese Electrophoresis Society (JES). He organized a Joint Meeting of AOHUPO symposium and JES symposium for the Satellite Meeting of 20th IUBMB to promote E&T in Japan.

Research Interest

He is interested in the discovery of biomarkers and therapeutic targets for HCV-related Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Pancreatic Cancer using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis combined with tandem mass spectrometry, and in the development of Cys-tag-Protein Chips for high through-put analyses of protein-protein interactions. His interest is shifting to Membrane Proteomics, Cancer Immunology and Immuno-Proteomics for the development of new diagnostic tools and non-invasive curative treatments of malignant tumors. He is also serving for the promotion of proteomics as an Associate Editor of Proteome Science, and an Editorial Board Member of Proteomics, Expert Review of Proteomics, and so on. His mission is to promote E&T of graduate students and young scientists being experts in the field of functional proteomics and clinical proteomics for understanding Molecular System of Life.
