معرفی
Toshihiro Kitamoto is an Associate Professor of Anesthesia and Neuroscience and Pharmacology at the University of Iowa. His research focuses on the genetic basis of complex behaviors, including learning, memory, sleep, and mood, as well as the impact of anesthetics on neural development and steroid signaling.
- Education:
- BS in Biochemistry, University of Tokyo
- MS in Biochemistry, University of Tokyo
- PhD in Biochemistry, University of Tokyo
Kitamoto's work leverages Drosophila models to investigate gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. His recent studies explore dietary interventions for seizure suppression, dopamine signaling in stress responses, and microbiome effects on neurological phenotypes.
His publications span neurogenetics, pharmacology, and molecular biology, with a recurring emphasis on Drosophila as a model system. Key themes include neurotransmitter dynamics, ion channelopathies, and environmental modulation of behavior.
