My research focuses on preventing and controlling viruses that cause diarrhea, with a specialty in noroviruses. The research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for shifts in the epidemiology and pathogenesis of the virus. My expertise includes diagnostic assay development, molecular epidemiology, evolutionary dynamics of noroviruses, and the improvement of stem cell-derived...

Postdoctoral Fellow

Education:

Ph.D., School of Medicine, 2017, Yokohama City University, Japan

Languages Spoken: Japanese

My research projects are to define the replication machinery of murine noroviruses in relationship to permissive host cell requirements and to develop robust reverse genetics tools for human noroviruses that allow recovery of infectious virus. My research interests are molecular biology and epidemiology for diarrheal, respiratory and rash-associated viruses.
