Yabusaki, Katsumi
Dr. Katsumi Yabusaki had an education on developmental biology at Graduate School of Science of Chiba University. After graduation of Master course program of biology, he joined Kowa Research Institute, Kowa Company, Ltd. as a scientist. His research scopes were related to establishing unique and novel methods to detect wide-ranging biomolecules.
In 1999, he began a research program in interdisciplinary sciences related to detecting biomolecules under supervision of Prof. Etsuo Kokufuta at Graduate School of University of Tsukuba and he had Doctor of Philosophy degree in 2002.
Dr. Yabusaki returned to Kowa Research Institute and one of his notable inventions, real-time pollen counter that can count the airborne pollen with classifying its specie using a technique like flow cytometry, was commercialized as KP-2000. In 2011, he and his colleagues won a prize The Promotion Foundation for Electrical Science and Engineering for developing the KP-2000.
In 2007, he moved to Kowa’s Optics and Electronics Division and he started a research and development of endotoxin determination. Recently he established a novel method for rapid and high-sensitive detection of endotoxin using microbeads aggregation technique.
In November 2011, Dr. Yabusaki began his new research at the Center for Interdisciplinary Cardiovascular Sciences(CICS). His study is focusing on the rapid and high-sensitive determination of blood endotoxin using his novel techniques that will reveal the relationship between blood endotoxin levels and several cardiovascular diseases.
