Dr. Gosuke Hayashi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomolecular Engineering at Nagoya University. His research focuses on creating protease-resistant artificial proteins through chemical synthesis, aiming to develop biomolecules that outperform natural proteins. He earned his B.S. in Chemistry from Kyoto University (2004) and a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Osaka University (2009). After postdoctoral work at The University of Tokyo and Boston University, he became an Assistant Professor at The University of Tokyo (2012–2019) before joining Nagoya University in 2019. Dr. Hayashi’s work combines synthetic organic chemistry and molecular biology to design non-degradable, artificial proteins for applications in drug discovery and biomolecular engineering. Notably, he developed mirror-image monobodies targeting MCP-1, which show high stability and low immunogenicity, with potential therapeutic uses. He received the Inamori Research Grant (2022) for his contributions to artificial protein design and continues to engage in collaborative research, publications, and scientific presentations advancing synthetic protein science.
