Brief bio: I have always loved living things and have been interested in how organisms integrate information to optimize their physiological activities in response to multiple environmental stimuli. I carried out my research on ubiquitin signaling and membrane trafficking in plant nutrient responses as my Ph.D. project in Profs. Junji Yamaguchi and Takeo Sato’s lab. After finishing my Ph.D., I will pursue my research on cell biology, aiming to dig deeper into the regulation of the membrane trafficking at the TGN.
