Biography
Hiroyuki Nakamura was born in 1967 in Japan. He received his PhD from Tohoku University under the supervision of Prof. Yoshinori Yamamoto in 1996. He became an assistant professor at Kyushu University (1995-1997) and at Tohoku University (1997-2002). He worked as a visiting assistant professor at University of Pittsburgh with Prof. Dennis Curran (2000-2001). In 2002, he was appointed as an associate professor at Gakushuin University and promoted as a professor in 2006. In 2013, he was appointed as a professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology. He received the Chemical Society of Japan Award for Young Chemists in 1999 and the Award of the Japanese Society for Molecular Target Therapy of Cancer in 2007. His research interests include synthetic methodology, medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and neutron capture therapy.
