About

Professor Toru Shimada is a faculty member at Gakushuin University in Japan. His research primarily focuses on the genetics and genome annotation of Lepidopteran insects, including various strains of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, and the wild silkmoth, Bombyx mandarina. Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding posttranslational activation mechanisms and chromosomal analysis in these species.
