Hello!

Shin Takano

I granted a PhD from the University of Kitakyushu in Japan in March 2024, and now I am working at the Markus Muellner's group at the university of Sydney, Australia as a postdoc".

"Takano-shin", people call me like this, because people call our family name first in Japan. No wonder I am so attached to nucleic acids, anticancer drugs, and various reagents.

adenosine, doxorubicin, takanoshin...

Starting from the academic year 2023, I became a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Research Fellow (DC2).

Hobby & Talent

1. Progrmming: I am using Python and HTML and recently I have been utilizing ChatGPT to create code. I am still learning and improving my skills. This websire was created by myself. (see: GitHub)

2. Creating 3D illustration: I create science illustrations using Blender for 3D illustrations. Using Cluster service, I made my 3DCG world. In the world, we can talk with and you can see some my scientific 3D arts. (visit 3D world)

3. Studying about Harry Potter: I am a big fan of Harry Potter. Recentry, I am currently reading them while researching the differences between them and the movies.

4. Watching cats' YouTube videos: My recommended cat is Mochimaru from the YouTube channel "Mochimaru Diary". Please check it out!

My reserch

1. Polymer synthesis: My research uses controlled radical polymerization to synthesize polymeric nanoparticles such as molecular bottle brushes. We mainly use polyelectrolytes and biopolymers.

2. Charactrizaton of nanoparticles: I study nanoparticle structures by electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering measurements using SPring-8, a large synchrotron radiation facility.

3. Drug delivery system: In my research, I am evaluating in vitro and in vivo whether the nanoparticles I have created are useful as carriers for small molecule and nucleic acid drugs.
