Ikawa, Masahito

Profile
Dr. Ikawa received his Ph.D. from Osaka University in 1997. After working as JSPS postdoctoral fellow and a Research Associate at Genome Information Research Center in Osaka University, he spent 2 years at The Salk Institute in the USA as a Research Associate. After returning to Osaka University in 2002, he became an Associate Professor in 2004 and was appointed to the current position in 2012. He was awarded JSPS Prize in 2013. His lifework is to study mammalian reproductive systems using genetically engineered mice.
