Naomichi Yamamoto PhD, MS

Dr. Naomichi Yamamoto is an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences at Seoul National University. His current research interests include applications of molecular biology-based techniques to study risks and transports of indoor and atmospheric fungal bioaerosols. His primary research expertise is: i) aerosol science; ii) aerobiology; and iii) molecular fungal biology.

His research team applies cutting-edged technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and RNA-Seq to study human health risks of pathogenic and allergenic fungal bioaerosols. Before joining to SNU faculty in 2012, Dr. Yamamoto worked at Yale School of Engineering as a postdoctoral scientist supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). He received his B.Eng. degree in applied physics from Waseda University, M.S. degree in environmental health sciences from UCLA, and Ph.D. degree in environmental studies from the University of Tokyo.
