In the Katsuta Group,
A spirited companion.
Welcome!
Our group is engaged in diverse research at the intersection of chemistry and biology, aiming to "control life phenomena using RNA as a tool." This includes research on RNA G-quadruplexes, translational control using staple nucleic acids, and the development of nucleic acid sensors.
To tackle these frontier fields, the power of “people” is paramount. The Katsuta Group warmly welcomes students and postdocs who are energetic and full of ambition to join us. It's a warm yet stimulating environment where everyone, from experimental beginners to experts, can leverage their strengths and learn from each other.
This page lists our currently active student members, the technical staff that supports them, and our alumni who have gone on to various career paths, along with their post-graduation destinations. If you are interested in our research, please feel free to contact Katsuta!
