Hidenori Ito, PhD

Hidenori Ito, Ph.D., recently joined the Nakauchi Lab at the Institute of Science Tokyo. His research focuses on the development of endothelial cells and the mechanisms underlying endothelial cell-related diseases. He has extensive expertise in generation/characterization of human iPSCs, differentiating them into endothelial cells, and characterizing endothelial cell function and vascular biology. He will apply this expertise to generate vascular-humanized organs within human-animal interspecies chimeras.
