Kazumori Mise is a postdoctoral fellow at The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan. He received a Bachelor degree of Agricultural and Life Sciences from The University of Tokyo in 2015. He continued his study at Soil Science Laboratory and received a Master degree of Agricultural and Life Sciences from The University of Tokyo in 2017, for the study in soil microbial communities driving phosphorus cycling. He then started to study microbial metagenomics and bioinformatics, under the direction of Professor Wataru Iwasaki (Wataru Iwasaki Laboratory: Laboratory of Bioinformatics). After receiving a Ph.D. in bioinformatics in 2020, he started working as a postdoctoral fellow at AIST in April 2021. His motivation is directed to bridging microscopic phenomena/concepts (molecular biology, genome structures, etc.) and macroscopic phenomena/concepts (ecophysiology, community dynamics, material circulation, etc.) using bioinformatics. Current research topics include soil metagenomics, ecology of microbes involved in greenhouse gas emissions/deletions, and development of bioinformatic methods fueling these studies.
