Takashi Nagano started his professional career as an orthopaedic surgeon after graduating from Osaka University Medical School, but his interest in basic biology urged him to switch job after receiving his Ph.D. from Osaka University. He was engaged in the research in brain development as well as the medical education in neuroanatomy in Japan for 9 years. Then he joined Dr. Peter Fraser's lab at The Babraham Institute in UK, where he has worked up to the present focusing on the epigenetic and chromosomal dynamics in mammalian cell nucleus. He plans to organise a new research team in Osaka University in Japan from April 2018, through the cross-appointment between UK and Japan.
