I am a physician-scientist investigating the fundamental mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases at Osaka University. My research focuses on understanding how protein misfolding and aggregation contribute to neuronal dysfunction, with particular emphasis on Multiple System Atrophy and Huntington’s disease.
Current Work
My doctoral research in the Yamashita laboratory employs a multidisciplinary approach combining proteomics, lipidomics, and computational modeling to uncover the molecular cascades that lead to neurodegeneration. Through comprehensive omics analysis, we have identified critical disruptions in sphingolipid metabolism that may serve as both biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
