About me
Biography
I am currently expanding my research interests toward the Molecular Mechanics of Mechanotransduction. During my master’s studies, I developed expertise in molecular biology, bioinformatics analysis, and structural analysis. At MBI, I aim to apply and integrate my background to contribute to the investigation of interactions between cytoskeleton and integrin adhesions. Outside of research, I enjoy learning Japanese, watching anime, and J-dramas.
