Nobuo Suzuki graduated from Toyama University with Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD degrees in Biology. He is currently a Professor at the Noto Marine Laboratory, Institute of Nature and Environmental Technology, Kanazawa University. Before that, he was a Researcher at Hoko Fishery Co. Ltd., and an Assistant Professor at Toyama University. He has expertise in the field of environmental biology. He and his lab are investigating the influence of environmental contaminants, bioactive substances, and physical stimuli using the scale as a model of bone. They recently demonstrated that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) disrupt bone metabolism in fish. Their goal is to determine the mechanism that causes spinal deformity in fish as a result of oil spills.
