Shohei Tashiro

Shohei Tashiro is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at The University of Tokyo. His research focuses on coordination chemistry and supramolecular chemistry, with current interests in nano-aggregation of metallo-macrocycle, oxime foldamer, and oxime macrocycle. He is affiliated with the Department of Chemistry (UG), Department of Chemistry (GR), and the Graduate School of Science. His work explores macrocycle, coordination, folding, and oxime-related topics. For more information, visit his profile page at http://www.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/people/tashiro_shohei/.

Shohei Tashiro's research focuses on the design and application of molecular hosts and coordination cages for selective recognition and functionalization of peptides and small molecules. His work explores the use of hydrophobic interactions, metal-ligand coordination, and supramolecular assembly to achieve molecular recognition and structural control. Key areas include the formation of coordination nanotubes, porous crystals, and molecular capsules for encapsulation and folding of peptides into secondary structures such as α-helices and β-turns. His studies also investigate the role of electrostatic interactions and kinetic control in self-assembly processes, with applications in chiral recognition and catalytic systems.
