SHINYA INOUÉ
Springer Biographies
The books published in the Springer Biographies tell of the life and work of scholars, innovators, and pioneers in all fields of learning and throughout the ages. Prominent scientists and philosophers will feature, but so too will lesser known personalities whose significant contributions deserve greater recognition and whose remarkable life stories will stir and motivate readers. Authored by historians and other academic writers, the volumes describe and analyse the main achievements of their subjects in manner accessible to nonspecialists, interweaving these with salient aspects of the protagonists’ personal lives. Autobiographies and memoirs also fall into the scope of the series.

Foreword
Having had the honor of receiving the 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, I, Osamu Shimomura, am now being presented the additional honor to prepare a foreword for Prof. Shinya Inoué’s autobiography Pathways of a Cell Biologist. Although having to rely on his autobiography as far as his personal life, especially as related to his youth, I am more or less familiar with Shinya’s contribution to science, especially since we have been coworkers at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole for some 34 years.
