and
August - October 2008

Prof. Dr. Naoki Furuta joins the Department for Marine Bioanalytical Chemistry for 4 weeks. He is Professor for Environmental Chemistry at the Department for Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Chou University Tokyo, Japan. His research interests include the development of analytical methods for trace element analysis in environmental and biological samples with a special focus on selenium and antimony compounds.


Together with Prof. Furuta his PhD student Kaori Shigeta joins the Department for marine Bioanalytical Chemistry. Kaori will stay in our laboratory untill the end of October. Her tentative title of the PhD thesis is " Selenium speciation and metabolism in mice under different nutritional statuses by using HPLC-ICP-MS". In our laboratory she will develop a new separation technique for selenium proteins in blood plasma based on affinity chromatography coupled with ICP-MS detection.

Research interests: The effects novel natural and anthropogenic xenobiotics in fish and other aquatic organisms.
I am working with the Marine Bioanalytical Chemistry group to investigate the toxicological properties of jellyfish (scyphozoan) toxins to fish and their ecological implications to coastal fisheries and aquaculture related industries. We are utilising a variety of analytical techniques at Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht to separate and purify many bioactive compounds from the crude preparations of jellyfish venoms and test for physiological and biochemical effects utilising salmonid cell lines as a model test system.
