معرفی
Hibiki Kawamata is an Assistant Professor of Research at the Brain and Mind Research Institute within Weill Cornell Medical College, where they have contributed to neuroscience research since 2015.
- Ph.D. from Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences (2008)
- B.A. from Smith College (1999)
Dr. Kawamata's research focuses on mitochondrial dysfunction, protein misfolding, and their roles in neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and Parkinson's. Their work explores oxidative stress, calcium homeostasis, and metabolic pathways in disease progression.
Key publication trends include studies on mitochondrial dynamics, neurodegenerative biomarkers, and genetic modifiers in ALS models. Recent work (2025) examines CHCHD10/CHCHD2 amyloid structures, while earlier studies (2020-2011) investigate metabolic profiling, ER-mitochondria interactions, and proteinopathy mechanisms.
Dr. Kawamata's grants include NINDS funding for CHCHD10/ALS research (2024-2029) and support from the Muscular Dystrophy Association (2022-2025). They have published extensively on mitochondrial biology in neurodegeneration, with >150 citations for their 2018 work on ALS-FTLD protein interactions.
