I study how chromatin structure relates to genome stability, using bioinformatics to read it out of sequencing data.
Combining wet-lab experiments with large-scale data analysis, I am building an ATAC-seq–based framework to assess the
non-genotoxic effects of chemicals on the genome.
The portrait is AI-generated (the dogs on my shoulders are my own).
Background
After graduating from the Faculty of Science at Chiba University, I am now a master's student in the same university's graduate school, working on chromatin metabolism. To quantitatively evaluate how chemicals and gene mutations affect chromatin structure and genome stability, I develop next-generation sequencing workflows and evaluation methods centered on ATAC-seq. By combining wet-lab experiments with bioinformatic analysis of large datasets, I aim to clarify how epigenomic changes influence innate immune responses and cancer risk.
