Activity Summary <\/h2>\r\n

\r\nOn top of creating an international research environment, one of important missions as a WPI center is the promotion of interdisciplinary and transborder research activities. IRCN is a research institution to find out \u201cWhat is human intelligence?\u201d. Our intellect seems develop not only by accumulation of academic knowledge, but also its emotional maturity would be added through exposure to a variety of art and culture. For example, to understand a unique Japanese intellect, having international and interdisciplinary background must be helpful. Establishing an individual personality is also very human like, which will be though feasible in future to understand it through computational analyses. Such a novel multidisciplinary challenge is requisite for WPI. \u201cThink global, act local\u201d is a business concept, but it is also applicable among researchers\u2019 community. Isn't it exciting to think, new ideas of human intelligence will be spreading out from the UTokyo Hongo campus to the rest of world? Based on this policy, thinking globally and acting locally, I would dedicate my long-term scientific career to foster the next generation research and leaders.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Education\/Academic background and major awards <\/h2>\r\n

\r\n

Graduated from Kanazawa University (MSc in biology) and completed a Ph.D. in physiology at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Japan. Mayumi Kimura was formally appointed at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University (1989-2003), The University of Tennessee, Memphis (1990-1993), The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas (1994-1995), Louisiana State University Pennington Biomedical Research Center (1995-1996), and Tulane University School of Medicine (1997-1998). From 2003 till 2018, she was appointed as a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry. During the last 35 years, she specialized in pre-clinical\/basic sleep research with a focus on the neuro-humoral mechanisms of sleep-wake regulation. She advocated that sleep-wake behavior is under strong homeostatic control via immune challenge induction, gender-specific changes, and stress-driven sleep responses. <\/p>
\r\n

Back in Japan since June, 2018, Mayumi has shifted her scientific career from bench to administration. First appointed as Project Associate Professor at International Research Center for Neurointelligence (WPI-IRCN), The University of Tokyo (2018-2020), then as Professor at International Institute for Integrated Sleep Medicine (WPI-IIIS), University of Tsukuba, having served as IIIS Administrative Director (2021- March 2024). Currently, she is back again to WPI-IRCN as Project Professor and a head of management, namely Administrative Director (April, 2024-).<\/p>\r\n
