Masahiro Kinoshita

Masahiro Kinoshita received his Doctor of Engineering degree from Kyoto University in 1984. His research interests include statistical-mechanical theories of fluids (integral equation theories), hydrophobic hydration, unified elucidation of a variety of biological self-assembly processes, protein folding and unfolding, molecular recognition, mechanism of functional expression of ATP-driven motors, and thermostabilization of membrane proteins. He is currently a professor emeritus at Kyoto...See more

Masahiro Kinoshita received his Doctor of Engineering degree from Kyoto University in 1984. His research interests include statistical-mechanical theories of fluids (integral equation theories), hydrophobic hydration, unified elucidation of a variety of biological self-assembly processes, protein folding and unfolding, molecular recognition, mechanism of functional expression of ATP-driven motors, and thermostabilization of membrane proteins. He is currently a professor emeritus at Kyoto University and an invited researcher at Chiba University. He has published 211 articles in internationally renowned journals such as Nature Chemical Biology, Journal of the American Chemical Society, and Physical Review Letters, to mention just a few. In addition, he has authored or made valuable contributions to several books in his field. See less
