NOMURA M. Shin-ichiro received his B.S. degree from theShizuoka University (1997), M.S. degree from the Nagoya University(1999), and Dr. of Science degree from the Kyoto University (2002). He then spent five years in Tokyo Medical & Dental University as post-doc and Research Associate Professor (junior). Next, he spent three years in iCeMS, Kyoto Univ. (2008-2011). Then he joined the TOHOKU University. He was a researcher of JST PRESTO (Structures and control of interfaces). He is also a visiting researcher of Unconventional Computing Group in UWE Bristol, UK (2019-).

Research
We are playing thinking about artificial life models in this real-world. Concept design, device construction, doing experiment, report, think different… are our mission. On going research themes are
Membrane protein expressing/functioning in cell-sized liposomes,
Yet-Another-Cell engineering,
Artificial cellular network, etc.
These works were strongly supported by JST PRESTO. Thanks a lot!
And also were supported by JSPS Biomanipulation, JSPS Gakujyutu-Sousei(18GS0421).
I also supported iGEM kyoto challenge. Now, I'm cheering up BIOMOD Team Sendai. Forza!
