Yamasaki, Shotaro

Profile

Dr. Yamasaki graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture, Kobe University in 2011.  He received his Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Biological Sciences, Nara Institute of Science and Technology in 2016 for his research on plant mRNA translation mechanisms. Thereafter he worked as a postdoctoral researcher (2016) and an assistant professor (2021) at Nara Institute of Science and Technology. At the institute, he began studies on gene regulation mechanisms and the development of a sequence optimization system for the mass production of useful proteins. He took his current position as an Associate Professor of RIMD in 2024.
