Research topics: Novel molecular mechanisms underlying formation of drug addiction

Keyword

Summary: Addiction is familiar to us, but its mechanisms are not fully understood. We have identified the protein that respond to addictive substances such as psychostimulant and alcohol. We found that knockout mice of this protein have reduced sensitivity to addictive substances and become less addiction. By elucidating the downstream signals of this protein, we aim to understand the mechanism underlying addiction.

Comment

It is my honor to be awarded Inamori Research Grant Program. We will uncover the mechanism underlying addiction from a new perspective.
