He received his M.S. from Kyoto University in 2005, where he studied nucleic acid chemistry under the supervision of Professors K. Nakatani and I. Saito. He then joined the group of Professor H. Suga at the University of Tokyo, earning his Ph.D. in 2008 with research focused on reprogramming of translation systems. From 2008 to 2009, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with Professor W. A. van der Donk, working on the biosynthesis of lanthipeptides. In 2009, he was appointed as an assistant professor at the University of Tokyo and promoted to associate professor in 2016. During this period, he was engaged in the mRNA display-based development of cyclic peptide ligands and, in parallel, initiated his independent research on the artificial biosynthesis of pseudo-natural peptides. In 2024, he moved to Kyoto University as a full professor. His current research interests include the development of artificial in vitro biosynthesis systems and their application to the discovery of pseudo-natural products with novel bioactivities
On Tuesday, 8th of July Prof Goto will deliver a lecture entitled
"Architecting pseudo-natural peptidesby in vitro artificial biosynthesis"
Location: Room 16, , Blocco Aule, Campus Sesto, Sesto Fiorentino
