About
Dr. Hamasaki joined the Department of Genetics (currently Molecular Biosciences) in 2009. Since then, as a research scientist of Cytogenetics laboratory, He has been involved mainly in the study of the biological assessment of A-bomb radiation dose using peripheral blood lymphocytes from A-bomb survivors. He is also interested in the effects of radiation on the fetus and is currently studying on evaluating the radiation effects on mouse hematopoietic cells after in utero exposure by measuring chromosome aberrations.
