Research Interests: Nucleic Acid Chemistry
Research Topic: Development of novel approaches for regulation of“RNA-Epigenetics”
Asako is a researcher of nucleic acid chemistry. The aim and dream of her research are development of anti-cancer drugs without any adverse effects. How to develop such functional molecules? She has focused on curious functions of nucleic acids, especially "RNA". The structure of RNA as stem‐loops, triplexes, quadruplexes and pseudoknots, directs its ability to recognize and discriminate specific targets. Furthermore, recent evidence suggests that the majority of the genomes of mammals and other complex organisms are in fact transcribed into RNAs. Her life work is "To know how natural RNAs exhibit their curious functions" and "Design of novel functional molecules from functional RNAs in our body".
