Kayoko Ikeda (Kako)
Research Unit Administrator
I was born and grown up in the heart of Tokyo. After some international work experiences in Tokyo & Canada, I made it to Okinawa - my lifelong dream island in 2011, and joined nRIM (OIST) in January, 2020.
Coming from a non-scientific background, being a part of OIST was no small challenge for me, but striving to become a competent RUA to enable our wonderful lab members to focus on their efficient and productive research activities is nothing but fun!
Out of work, I'm obsessed with traveling and listening to vinyl records. Used to dance hiphop over 10years and still can’t live without black music.
