At my previous work place in Shiga General Hospital, together with hematologists and clinical test laboratory, we did a collaborative clinical study on JAK2 V617F mutation in myeloproliferative neoplasm patients (publication 50).

Munehiro Uemura, my previous colleague, and I developed a chromosomal manipulation ('chromosomal surgery') using Cre recombinase and fluorescent protein-based vectors in collaboration with Dr. Noritaka Adachi in Yokohama City University and Dr. Naoki Kakazu in Shimane Medical University. This method can induce pre-designed deletion, inversion and translocation of chromosomes. We published a paper (publication 48) and created vectors were deposited in and are freely available from Addgene.
