Professor Shinjiro Hamano (MD, PhD) has been a professor at the Institute of Tropical
Medicine (NEKKEN), Nagasaki University from 2009.
Dr. Hamano studied medicine and received his MD from Kumamoto University in 1993
and a PhD degree from Kyushu University, Fukuoka in 1999. Following that, he has been
studying host defense mechanisms against various protozoan and helminthic parasites at
Kyushu University and Nagasaki University. His research interests are on tropical infectious diseases and host defense mechanism to microbes including parasites.
Between 2004 and 2006 he visited the University of Virginia and dedicated his time to elucidate the determinants for Entamoeba histolytica to establish the infection using animal model. Dr. Hamano and his colleagues elucidated the pathogenicity of Entamoeba moshkovskii and the role of newly identified heterodimeric cytokine IL-27 and its receptor WSX-1 in host defense to protozoan parasites.
He has also engaged in field study about tropical infectious diseases in developing countries.

Parasitic diseases are still a huge menace to human health and continue unabated in tropical areas under the conditions of poverty and the unique natural and social environments. Various kinds of parasites infect humans for long periods of time without killing them, giving rise to tremendous social and/or economic loss.
We would like to help students develop deep insight into parasitic diseases and the surrounding factors from various points of view. The roles on TMGH courses is to show existing and new knowledge and to provide an enthusiastic environment for the future generation.
