Lecturer Dr. Yasuoka has been inspiring young minds in the faculty of pharmacy for the Institute of Radioisotope Research at Kobe Pharmaceutical University since 2008. For 18 years prior, she had been an assistant at the university. Located in Kobe City, Japan, the university was originally founded in 1930 as Kobe Women's School of Pharmacy before evolving into Kobe Women's Technical School of Pharmacy in 1932. By 1949, it had changed to Kobe Women's College of Pharmacy before finally going coeducational and being renamed Kobe Pharmaceutical University in 1994.
Dr. Yasuoka's extensive education includes a Bachelor's degree at Kobe Pharmaceutical University, which was Kobe Women's College of Pharmacy at the time of graduation in 1984, followed by a PhD at Niigata University in 2006. In addition to her schooling, she has conducted an enormous amount of research, resulting in numerous scientific articles in journals such as the Japanese Journal of Health Physics, the Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, and the Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, as well as various presentations at conferences. Most recently, she co-authored two papers in 2017: "Accurate measurement of indoor radon concentration using a low-effective volume radon monitor," and "Anomalous changes in atmospheric radon concentration before and after the 2011 Northern Wakayama Earthquake."
Over the course of her career, Dr. Yasuoka made several discoveries, including an atmospheric radon level increase prior to the January 17, 1995 Kobe earthquake, and conducted analysis of variation in atmospheric radon concentration prior to the earthquake using an exhaust monitor. She conducted research on radon concentration of outdoor air, measured by an ionization chamber for radioisotope monitoring system at the radioisotope institute. She also presented findings of exhausting radon by the ground strain, for which she received the 2008 Kariyush Prize for an excellent oral presentation at the 42nd annual meeting of the Japan Health Physics Society.
A member of The Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, the Japan Health Physics Society, the Japan Radioisotope Association, and several others relative to her work, when Dr. Yasuoka isn't busy teaching or conducting research, she loves to spend time with her husband.
