The Katsuda Group welcomes passionate and motivated researchers!
Our group aims to “control biological phenomena using RNA as a tool.” Our research spans interdisciplinary areas between chemistry and biology, including studies on RNA G-quadruplexes, translational regulation using Staple nucleic acids, and the development of nucleic acid sensors.
Advancing such frontier research requires, above all, passionate and driven people. We warmly welcome students and postdoctoral researchers who are full of curiosity, energy, and a spirit of challenge. From beginners in experimental research to experienced specialists, our lab provides a supportive yet stimulating environment where members learn from and inspire one another while making the most of their individual strengths.
On this page, you can find information about our current student members, the technical staff supporting the laboratory, and alumni who have gone on to diverse career paths after graduation. If you are interested in our research, please feel free to contact Prof. Katsuda anytime!
