Bio	Dr. Izumi received both a Bachelor of Science and a Masters of Science degree in biology from the Kyoto University in Koyto, Japan. He earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Radiation Biology also at the Kyoto University. Dr. Izumi's post-doctoral research was conducted in the Sealy Center for Molecular Science at the University of Texas Medical Branch. He joined the faculty at the Sealy Center for Molecular Science as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Biological Chemistry & Genetics. Dr. Izumi was the recipient of the Japan Ministry of Education Fellowship and seed money Fund from Sealy Center on Aging. He is presently as Assistant Professor in the School of medicine and a member of the Stanley S. Scott Cancer Center. Dr. Izumi's research interests include DNA damage and mutagenesis, specifically those generated by reactive oxygen species; mechanisms of cellular defense and DNA repair against the DNA damage in human cells and other organisms. He is currently the recipient of an NIH RO1 grant for 2003-2007 on - Repair of Oxidative DNA damage in mammalian cells.
