Biography:
Dr. Matsui received his
Ph.D. in Microbiology from Meiji Pharmaceutical University, Tokyo, Japan. He has been studying the role of colonization by Staphylococcus aureus in patients with
atopic dermatitis from 1999. His previous studies demonstrated that cell wall
components of S. aureus contributed
to an increase in mast cells, Th2 cells and eosinophil numbers in the dermis of
skin lesions of atopic dermatitis patients, and also they induced up-regulation
of allergen specific IgE production and Th2 cells development. His current
research interest focuses on regulation of Th1/Th2 cells development through
Langerhans cells in order to cure allergic disease.
