Thomas N. Sato
Thomas N. Sato is a prominent Japanese educator and biologist, whose research focuses on understanding molecular basis of cancer, cardiac disease and metabolic diseases by using a number of animal models including mice, zebrafish and fruit flies. He is also working to invent next-generation therapeutics for human diseases based on the stochastic basis of life and disease. He is currently professor of biology at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology, Japan, professor at Cornell University, United States and Centenary Institute in Sydney, Australia.[1][2]
