معرفی
Mai Oda is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Cellular & Molecular Physiology at Yale University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on sensory biology, ion channel function, and their roles in neurological and ophthalmological processes. She has contributed to studies on Pacinian corpuscle structure, TRPV1/TRPV2/TRPC5 channel mechanisms, and retinal development. Her work spans structural biology, drug inhibition studies, and mouse model development for vascular diseases.
Key research areas include:
- Sensory transduction mechanisms in touch and temperature perception
- Ion channel regulation under oxidative stress conditions
- Neural circuit formation in retinal systems
- Development of choroidal disease models
Dr. Oda has published in high-impact journals including Science Advances and Nature Communications, with recent work advancing understanding of mechanoreceptor function and pain modulation pathways. She collaborates frequently with structural biologists and clinical researchers at Yale.
