Dr. Etsuo A. Susaki graduated from Kyushu University School of Medicine in 2002 and earned his Ph.D. in medicine from the same institution in 2007. His primary research interests are the functional states and regulatory mechanisms of multicellular systems. Specifically, he invented the CUBIC framework for cell-omics to study multicellular systems. Additionally, he is skilled in molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics. He is currently applying his unique research background and techniques to multiple biomedical applications, including 3D spatial context analysis of multicellular systems (e.g., brain, organoid), 3D clinical histopathology, open-source light-sheet system development, drug discovery using new organoid screening techniques, early detection of aging and aging-related disease processes, and multicellular synthetic biology. He has also initiated projects using hydra species as models for aging and multicellular synthetic biology studies.
