His research focuses on synthetic cell biology to dissect and reconstitute intricate signaling networks.The Inoue Lab studies the positive-feedback mechanisms underlying neutrophil chemotaxis, as well as spatio-temporal information processing. His team also tries to understand how cell morphology affects biochemical functions.Dr. Inoue received both his undergraduate degree in arts and sciences and his Ph.D. in pharmaceutical science from the University of Tokyo. He completed postdoctoral training in chemical and systems biology at Stanford University. He joined the Johns Hopkins faculty in 2008.He is a member of the Japanese Society for Pharmaceutical Sciences and the American Society for Cell Biology.Dr. Inoue has authored a number of peer-reviewed publications and holds a patent for “IP3 Receptor Ligands.”
