معرفی
Hitoshi Tsujimoto, Ph.D., is an assistant research scientist in Dr. Zach Adelman’s lab at Texas A&M University’s Department of Entomology, within the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences. His research focuses on genetic, genomic, and physiological aspects of the dengue virus vector mosquito Aedes aegypti, with emphasis on gene regulation, genome editing, bloodmeal digestion, excretion, and reproductive processes.
Education:
- B.S. Biology, Utah State University
- Ph.D. Entomology, University of Georgia
Research Interests:
Dr. Tsujimoto’s work integrates vector biology, genomics, and biotechnology to elucidate mechanisms underlying mosquito physiology and pathogen transmission. Key areas include CRISPR-based gene editing in Aedes aegypti, aquaporin function in disease vectors, and molecular mechanisms of bloodmeal processing.
Labs/Teams: Member of Dr. Zach Adelman’s lab, Texas A&M Entomology. Collaborates with Texas A&M AgriLife Research on vector biology projects.
Grants/Advising: No specific grants or advisees listed, but contributes to lab research initiatives.
