Nobuhiko IKI − Editorial Board Member

Nobuhiko IKI was born in 1966 in Sapporo, Japan and graduated from Tohoku University in 1988. During his postgraduate course (1989-1990), he studied coordination chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London, with Prof. D. F. Evans. He received his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Tohoku University under the direction of Prof. T. Yotsuyanagi in 1994. After his postdoctoral work at Ames Laboratory, Iowa State University, with Prof. E. S. Yeung, he joined Prof. S. Miyano's group at Tohoku University as a Research Associate to study thiacalixarene chemistry in 1996. He was promoted to an Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Tohoku University, in 2003, and then to a full Professor at the same school in 2014. His research interests focus on multifunctional metal complexes for bioimaging and therapy, capillary electrophoretic reactors for evaluating kinetic stability of metal and biomolecular complexes, and kinetic differentiation mode separation/detection systems for ultratrace metal ions.
