Shin-ichi Miyashita is a researcher at the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ) in the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). He is an analytical chemist holding a Ph.D. in Life Sciences from the Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences (TUPLS) in Tokyo, Japan. His current research focuses on the development of matrix certified reference materials for determination and speciation of elements in environmental and food matrices, and development of high-throughput technologies for single-cell elemental analysis using inductively coupled plasma spectrometries.

Chisato Murota received a Masters degree in Life Sciences from TUPLS in 2010 and has worked in the Japan Environmental Measurement and Chemical Analysis Association (JEMCA) since 2011. She has been enrolled in a doctoral course of the same university since 2014. She has studied the function and the gene expression of phosphate transporters of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and cyanobacteria in phosphate and arsenate uptake.

Keisuke Kondo received a Masters degree in Life Sciences from TUPLS in 2012 and now works in a company for extracorporeal diagnostics medicines. In TUPLS, he studied the mechanisms of arsenic uptake and metabolism and the mitigation strategies in green algae and cyanobacteria.

Shoko Fujiwara is an Associate Professor in the School of Life Sciences of TUPLS. She is a plant physiologist and her research focuses on the carbon fixation of photosynthetic microorganisms (microalgae and cyanobacteria) and the effects of arsenic on their growth. She has been studying the arsenic resistance mechanisms of microorganisms for more than 10 years.

Mikio Tsuzuki is a Professor in the School of Life Sciences at TUPLS. His major interest is in algal and cyanobacterial physiology, focussing on photosynthetic carbon fixation. Arsenate tolerance observed in photosynthetic microorganisms is one of his subjects on environmental stresses in photosynthesis.
