BIOGRAPHY

I have completed my Ph.D. in Developmental Biology at Shizuoka University, Japan. My research focused on the purification, identification, and biological characterization of ligands targeting membrane progestin receptors (mPRs). With a strong background in natural compound screening and receptor-based assays, my work has contributed to uncovering novel molecular mechanisms relevant to reproductive and developmental biology. My ongoing research interests are centered on developing therapeutic strategies targeting diverse molecular signaling networks.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Currently I am focusing my research on the purification identification and biological characterisation of bioactibe compounds from marine resources.
