Q. What made you interested in your current research theme?

A. When I was a junior high school student, learning how Watson and Crick published their paper about DNA using just a single sheet of A4 paper impressed me considerably. That was my first big memory in becoming interested in biology. After that, I became fascinated by mechanical systems in living creatures through the actin and myosin muscle mechanism.
