Education
2003.10 – 2007.07 Ph.D. in Plant Science, School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK
Thesis title: Analysis of the role of COI1 in ethylene response in Arabidopsis thaliana

1999.04 - 2003.03  Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry, Division of Natural Sciences, International Christian University, Tokyo, Japan

Professional Experience
2011.04  –  present  Postdoctoral researcher, RIKEN PSC Regulatory Network Research Unit

2007.07 – 2011.03  Postdoctoral Fellow in Plant Science, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada

Her research area ranges from hormone interaction, nutrient metabolism, stress repsonse and protein-protein interaction in model plants and conifers. During her Ph.D. study in UK, her research focused on interaction between a component of the jasmonate receptor complex, COI1, and the ethylene pathway in Arabidopsis. During her postdoc period in Canada, she mainly studied annual nitrogen cycling and stress response in conifers. She is currently working at Shin Lab in RIKEN, focuing on interaction of 14-3-3 proteins with light-related proteins and potassium signalling.
