Dr. Fukuhara specializes in chemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and bioinformatics. He also handles patent prosecution related to physics, organic chemistry, electronic materials and medical devices. At university, he conducted research and development on metallic catalysts which emulate the functions of enzymes in the body. In his doctoral course, he developed a server to predict interacting protein pairs and interacting sites by homology modeling of complex structures.
