Yoshiho Ikeuchi received PhD degree in 2007 at The University of Tokyo. He received post-doctoral neuroscience training at Harvard Medical School from 2007 to 2013, and at Washington University in St. Louis from 2013 to 2014. He was appointed as Lecturer in 2014, and then Associate Professor in 2018 at Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo.

Ikeuchi laboratory’s goal of research is to create nervous tissue (organoids) from human multipotent stem cells (iPS cells) and to functionalize them in order to better understand the mechanisms of the brain. His group has successfully developed technology to connect neural organoids via an axon bundle which mimic neuronal circuits in the human body.
