Research topics: Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of cell differentiation controlled by iron

Keyword

Summary: Iron is the most abundant element by weight on Earth, and it is believed that life has utilized iron for metabolic activities since its origin. Recently, it has been suggested that iron contributes to a variety of biological functions through the regulation of various cellular functions such as cell death and mitochondrial function, but the detailed molecular mechanisms and biological significance of these functions have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we will focus on the regulation of cellular differentiation by iron metabolism in order to deepen our understanding of iron-mediated biological phenomena.

Comment

With the goal of understanding the mechanisms that maintain the body's homeostasis, I am engaged in life science research with the keywords of signal transduction and metabolic regulation. I would like to pursue the fun of science while interacting with people with diverse backgrounds.
