What happened
Postdoctoral Fellow: Gladstone Institute
Dr. Tom Innerarity
Dr. Innerarity’s hypothesis
Forced expression of APOBEC1 in liver
lowers plasma cholesterol
Experiment
Liver-specific transgenic mice
Liver cancer
My early days in science
Unexpected results
Great mentors
Researches that led to iPS cells
Liver cancer
NAT1
(Novel APOBEC1 Target No1)
Identified as a candidate gene responsible for
APOBEC1-mediated tumors
(Yamanaka et al., 1997)
Essential for pluripotency of ES cells
(Yamanaka et al., 2000)
