Early Life and Education:

Emi Nagoshi was born in Japan. She received a BS in Biology at Tohoku University from 1990-1994. She then received a phD in medical science at Osaka University from 1994-2000 where she research cholesterol metabolism and worked alongside DNAVEC Crop. to create a novel gene therapy vector prototype. Nagoshi continued as a Postdoc at University of Geneva from 2001-2004 where she started studying circadian rhythms in mammalian cells. Here she developed a live-cell imaging technique to monitor circadian rhythms at single cell levels. The technique enabled her to examine relationships between cell division cycles and circadian rhythms in animal cells. She became a postdoctoral fellow at Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Brandeis University where she continued studying circadian rhythms in the neural mechanisms of Drosophila Melanogaster. Following her education, she became a Group leader at the University of Bern in Berne, Switzerland from 2009-2013. Nagoshi then returned to the University of Geneva to work as an assistant professor from 2013-2018 and continued as a full time associate professor from 2018 to present date.
