Graduate Research Fellow, Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology
Research
​
I received my bachelor’s degree from International Christian University in Japan, followed by a master’s degree through a 5th-year master’s program. During my B.S. and M.S., I conducted research in Dr. Tatsuo Nunoshiba’s laboratory and investigated the function of the pyrophosphohydrolase rdgB in the maintenance of genomic integrity by preventing the accumulation of damaged nucleotides in E.coli.
​
In the Dillin lab, I am studying how the pathogenic bacterial infection regulates host immune and stress responses and impacts on mitochondrial functions.
