Biography

Kenta Ninomiya is a Post-doctoral Research Associate in the Chromatin Ageing Laboratory at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and the University of Western Australia Medical School. Working under Prof. Alexey V. Terskikh, Kenta specializes in biomedical molecular biological image analysis and employs machine learning and computational topology to decipher complex epigenetic mechanisms. Kenta received a PhD in Health Sciences from Kyushu University, Japan, in 2022, where his research focused on the relationship between medical imaging and gene expression. He transitioned to the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute to concentrate on single-cell epigenetics and ageing research before moving to Perth to join the Perkins Institute. His current research aims to develop novel approaches to analyze and explain intricate epigenetic mechanisms regulating gene expression, with a particular interest in understanding the combinatorial effects of the spatial organization of histone modifications in single-cell nuclei. Kenta employs advanced imaging techniques, mathematical modeling, and machine learning to identify patterns and predict epigenetic interactions, with the goal of revolutionizing the understanding of dynamic epigenetics and paving the way for new therapeutic strategies targeting epigenetic mechanisms in diseases.
