Hitachi Fellow: Dr. KAMBARA Hideki

Field:

DNA Sequencer

Appointment:

June 2003

Dr. Kambara is recognized for his revolutionary research leading to the development of a high-throughput capillary array DNA sequencer, with a functional capacity nearly 20 to 30 times that of previous devices. The sequencer was employed in the Human Genome Project, speeding-up and contributing significantly to the Project's groundbreaking results. It continues to play a significant role in the advancement of new research in biology and biochemistry, as well as the development of scientific technology in pharmacology, medicine and other research fields utilizing applied genomic data.
