Associate Professor Tomoji Mashimo is based at the Institute of Laboratory Animals, Graduate School of Medicine at Kyoto University in Japan. Dr. Mashimo completed his doctoral studies at Kyoto University in 2000, where he focused on the Genetic analysis of hypertension, dyslipidemia and stroke in animal models. This was followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the Unité de Génétique des Mammifères, Département d’Immunologie, Pasteur Institute in France, where he determined the genetic basis for mouse susceptibility to West Nile virus infection.
In 2003, Dr. Mashimo returned to Japan where he served as a Staff scientist and was off ered the position of Associate Professor in the National Bio Resource Project for the Rat in Japan. He has thus far established gene-targeting technologies in rats including ENU mutagenesis and ZFNs. Using these technologies, he has generated SCID rats, which provide an excellent model for pre-clinical drug testing.
