Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor at the Brain Research Institute (Niigata University) in the Department of Neuroscience of Disease (Matsui Lab). I am passionate of Neuroscience and my research interests range from neurodevelopmental disorders to neurodegenerative diseases. I use mice and zebrafish models of disease to investigate the mechanisms of ADHD, autism, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
In more detail: I earned my PhD in 2022 in the Department of Pharmacognosy, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences (Kyoto University). I worked on the sedative, anxiolytic and antidepressant activities of volatile principles contained in traditional plants and this work led me to be interested in brain-related diseases. From there, I joined the Laboratory of Neuroscience of Disease where I investigate ADHD, autism and AD using mouse and zebrafish models.
Please do not hesitate to reach out!
