－　　－42Hiromichi AsamotoAssistant Professor, Department of Liberal Arts and Basic ScienceHiromichi Asamoto is an assistant professor at the College of Industrial Technology, Nihon University. He received his Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Master of Engineering (ME) from Nihon University in 2004 and 2006, respectively. Furthermore, he received his doctoral degree (Ph. D. in Pharmacy) from Nihon University in 2009. He is a member of the Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry (JSAC), the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan (PSJ) and others. His research interests involve understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of Alzheimer disease pathogenesis, exploring new chromatographic separation and detection methods for aggregation of the amyloid β(Aβ) peptide. He is also active in research and development of environmentally-friendly adsorbents and adsorption of heavy metals from environmental water samples. He currently serves on the Editorial Board of Bulletin of the Society of Sea Water Science, Japan.Research Achievements1) High-performance Liquid Chromatographic Evaluation of Effect of Metal Ion on Amyloid Fibril Forma-tion, Bulletin of the Society of Sea Water Science, Japan, Vol. 6, No. 6 (418), 336-337 (2018) 2) Two-step grafting of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) onto a polyethylene plate for enhancement of Cr(VI) ion adsorption, Environmental Tech-nology, available online (ahead of print).3) Separation Analysis of Amyloid Fibrils Utilizing a PTFE Tube as a Separation Field, BUNSEKI KAGA-KU, Vol. 66, No. 2, pp. 89～94 (2017)4) Use of polyethylene films photografted with 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate as a potential adsor-bent for removal of chromium (VI) from aqueous medium, Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Vol. 133, 18, 43360 (pp. 1～10) (2016)Fig. Schematic diagram of the HPLC instrument for separation and detection of amyloid brils3).
