This is a summary of the curriculum vitae (CV) of Prof. Masahiko Hibi, M.D., Ph.D., Graduate School of Science, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan.

Professor Hibi is a world-renowned scientist studying zebrafish neuroscience, with the development and function of the cerebellum being one of his major topics. His work has been cited  over 30,000 times (Google Scholar).

After, in 1988, obtaining his MD from Hiroshima University, School of Medicine, he pursued his Ph.D. studies in the lab of the famous Professor Tadamitsu Kishimoto at Osaka University. Here, he participated in what probably is among the top five studies that Japanese Immunology science is famous for, namely the elucidation of interleukin 6 (IL-6) functions and mechanisms. As a first author, Professor Hibi identified gp130, which is part of the IL-6 receptor complex (Hibi et al, Cell 1990). Inhibiting IL-6 function is of significant medical importance, as treatment with “tocilizumab” (developed by the same research group) ameliorates inflammations like rheumatoid arthritis and may also benefit anti-cancer therapy.

In 1992-1995, while a postdoc in San Diego at the University of California, Professor Hibi worked on signal transduction (intracellular phosphorylation cascades) and the transcription factor C-Jun under Dr. Michael Karin. This also resulted in several top articles, including Nature and Cell (3x). One of them, on the kinase JNK, has over 4,000 citations (Dérijard et al., Cell 1994)!

He then returned to Osaka University, where he would work until 2001 and eventually become an Associate Professor.  During this period, a major focus was applying what he had learned in the US, and unraveling intracellular IL-6 signaling cascades. This period again resulted in major publications, including in Journal of Experimental Medicine, Immunity (2x), and EMBO Journal (4x). Towards the end of this period, he started to use zebrafish, and this has been his major model system ever since.

After Osaka, he worked until 2009 in Kobe, both at Kobe University and the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology, and from 2009 he became Professor at Nagoya University. He kept publishing top articles on zebrafish such as in Nature Cell Biology , Nature Neuroscience, Nature Communications, and PNAS (2x). His work on zebrafish development gradually became more focused on neuroscience, in particular on the cerebellum and Purkinje cells.

I know Professor Hibi as a very kind person, and remember with gratitude that he offered me to use his zebrafish research facilities (an offer that unfortunately I could not take up on). I also remember him as explaining very well, so I am sure he will give a great lecture to Fujita University.

It is a great pleasure and honor that such a renowned scientist will give us a presentation.
