معرفی
Fumiaki Ito serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology-Immunology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, where he leads research on molecular mechanisms of viral infection and host defense systems using structural biology approaches.
His academic credentials include:
- BS from University of Tokyo (2011)
- MS from University of Tokyo (2013)
- PhD from University of Southern California (2019)
- Postdoctoral training in Structural Biology at University of California, Los Angeles (2025)
Dr. Ito's laboratory employs cryo-electron microscopy and biochemical techniques to investigate how DNA/RNA viruses hijack host cells and evade immune responses. This structural virology research focuses on atomic-level characterization of virus-host interfaces to inform therapeutic development for infectious diseases, spanning subfields including viral entry mechanisms, innate immune sensing, and capsid assembly dynamics.
No information regarding student advising or research grants was provided in the source material. His laboratory operates within the Department of Microbiology-Immunology's research infrastructure at Feinberg School of Medicine.
