Biography

Yoshiaki Tanaka obtained his undergraduate degree in pharmaceutical sciences from the University of Tokyo, Japan. During his doctoral training, he focused on bioinformatics methodologies for analyzing large-scale data, utilizing RNA-seq and ChIP-seq to model the relationship between transcriptional regulation and epigenetic regulation in eukaryotic cells. His postdoctoral research at Yale University involved studying cellular and molecular biology to understand the pluripotency of stem cells and tissue development. Recently, he has developed in-vitro models of human brain tissue and elucidated mechanisms of brain development and neurological diseases. His research vision at the Research Center of Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont is to explore complex issues in brain tumors and other brain diseases using in-vitro and in-silico models.
