Biography
Dr. Kosuke Minami received his B. Sc. from The University of Tokyo in 2008, majoring in insect biology. He obtained his Ph. D. in organic synthetic chemistry under the guidance of Prof. Eiichi Nakamura from The University of Tokyo in 2013, collaborating with Prof. Eisei Noiri at Faculty of Medicine, University Hospital, The University of Tokyo. He started his work as a postdoctoral fellow at World Premier International Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA) in National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS). He became an ICYS Research Fellow in NIMS as an independent research position in 2019, and then was promoted a senior researcher in 2021.
