Short Bio
- Dr. Kato S. received his Master's degree from Kochi University (1991-1992), where he studied the colloid chemistry of clay particles. He also studied the colloid chemistry of volcanic ash soil clay at Ehime University (1992-1995). At the Okinawa Prefectural Institute of Natural Resources (2003-2005), he was involved in research and development of the cancer-inhibiting effects of plant components. At the Hiroshima Prefectural University Graduate School (2005-2011), he was involved in industry-academia joint research on the bio-applications of nanoparticles using fullerenes, platinum nano colloids, and liposomes as a chief researcher, and received Ph.D. At the Radioisotope Center, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka City University (2011-2013), he conducted research on the radiosensitizing effects of liposomes containing radiosensitizers and fullerene dissolved in squalene. Then, as an assistant professor at the Mie University Radioisotope Research Facility (2013-2024), I conducted research on the inhibitory effect of lactoferrin on the proliferation of human neuroblastoma cells, and the effect of nicotine on the proliferation of neuroblastoma cells and its relationship with X-ray irradiation under the administration of lithium carbonate. After that, he moved to the Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science (KURNS) as an associate professor in 2025, and is involved in research and education, including the environmental dynamics of radioactive cesium.
