Professor Emeritus Dr. Sohei Kondo Sohei Kondo was born in Kurume, Japan, on 7 May 1922. Although he studied
physics, his experiences of the atomic bomb disaster in Hiroshima and the work as
radiation expert at the National Institute of Genetics, Mishima, led him eventually to
work in biophysics, initially at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, USA, where he
met and was influenced by the late Dr Alexander Hollaender. (That experience is described
in the Epilogue to this book.) He became a professor at the laboratory of radiation
biology at Osaka University School of Medicine in 1963, where he stayed until 1986, when
he took up a post at Kinki University, also in Osaka. He is married and has three
children. |
