Associate Professor, Laboratory of Membrane and Cytoskeleton Dynamics, Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, the University of Tokyo.

Each type of cells has specific shape that is determined by the plasma membrane.

The shape of plasma membrane is determined by support of the cytoskeleton. In this project, I will focus on the mechanisms connecting the membrane to the cytoskeleton.

The responsible molecules will be the "interface" between the membrane and the cytoskeleton, that may be indispensable for special "shape" of each type of cells.
