Biography
Keiko Hirose is a researcher with more than 30 years’ experience in structural and functional studies of motor proteins. She has a PhD from the University of Tokyo and was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania and at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK. She is especially interested in how molecular motor proteins, such as dynein, move. Dr. Hirose has been working at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan, since 1997.
Given the recent explosion of interest in dynein, this book gives a timely review of both historical and current developments in the field. It is an extensive compendium compiled by leading dynein researchers and an excellent resource for young and experienced scientists alike!

Handbook of Dynein, edited by the eminent electron microscopists Keiko Hirose and Linda Amos and contributed to by many international leading scientists in the field, is an excellent introduction to cutting-edge dynein research, including such aspects as biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, structural biology, and molecular genetics. It introduces not only the mechanisms of how cilia and flagella move and how the intracellular transport is performed by dyneins but also the pathogenesis of diseases related to the dynein motor complex. Thus, it will be a really fine handbook for students and researchers in the broad areas of life sciences.
