Masako Suzuki is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutrition at Texas A&M University, affiliated with the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences. She is a member of Texas A&M AgriLife Research and leads the Suzuki Lab (website: suzukilab.org ). Her work focuses on epigenetic mechanisms in developmental biology, nutrition, and disease, with a strong emphasis on DNA methylation dynamics, gene regulation, and cellular differentiation. Research interests include: Epigenetic impacts of vitamins (A/D) on developmental pathways Cancer epigenetics and tumor progression Kidney development and fibrosis Sex-specific neuroepigenetic responses to stress Genetic/epigenetic interactions in health disparities Recent work highlights novel findings in: Long-term epigenetic effects of prenatal vitamin deficiency Smoking-induced methylome changes in lung progenitor cells Role of MLL3 tumor suppressor in breast cancer Liver cell composition alterations from vitamin A deficiency Her research employs integrative approaches combining: Epigenomic profiling (DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility) Single-cell sequencing technologies Animal models for developmental studies Clinical samples from patient cohorts Current projects investigate: Mechanisms of epigenetic reprogramming in stem cells Epigenetic biomarkers for kidney diseases Intergenerational effects of maternal nutrition
