Dr. Kazunori Hoshino Awarded an NSF Grant

Professor Kazunori Hoshino (PI) received a new NSF grant (NSF #2223957) with a total of $790,267.00 for three years (Start Date: Oct 1, 2022). The project is entitled “A light-sheet microscopy (LSM)-based, spatially-resolved 3D dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) instrument for developmental biology and physiology.” He will work with Professor Jianjun Sun (Co-PI) of Physiology and Neurobiology to create a new microscope system and study the growth and the development of live tissues and organs of Drosophila, zebrafish, and mouse.

Dr. Kazunori Hoshino received NSF CAREER Award

Dr. Kazunori Hoshino received an NSF CAREER award (NSF #1942518) for his project titled “CAREER: Biomechanical Signatures in Vertebrate Embryonic Development.” The project aims to investigate a novel biomechanical method to quantitatively assess the status of tissue differentiation and organ formation in key developmental stages of vertebrate embryos. The project starts from July 1, 2020, and the total amount of the award is $500,000 for five years.
