Tasuku Honjo is a Japanese physician-scientist and immunologist. He won the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and is best known for his identification of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). He is also known for his molecular identification of cytokines IL-4 and IL-5, as well as the discovery of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) that is essential for class switch recombination and somatic hypermutation.
Reading Honjō against the global hubs: Tokyo (~871 km), Singapore (~4,462 km), Dubai (~7,313 km) are the close ones, with São Paulo (~19,056 km) sitting on the opposite side of the planet — a good gut check when judging logistics windows.
Honjō sits inside Japon — the Eastern Asia subregion, capital Tokyo, languages Japanese, currency JPY (¥).
The closest mapped neighbors of Honjō are Miyazaki (11 km), Saito (13 km), Tsuma (14 km), Shintomi (17 km), so commuter, logistics and same-day-trip planning will usually pull from this cluster.
