Research topics: Context-dependent transcriptional regulation by NFIA, a crucial regulator of brown adipocyte differentiation and function

Keyword

Summary: Brown adipocytes have been considered a potential target of obesity and diabetes therapy through “enhancing energy dissipation” not through "suppressing energy intake". I and colleagues previously identified a transcription factor NFIA as a crucial regulator of brown adipodcyte differentiation. We aim to elucidate transcriptional regulation of brown adipocyte function by NFIA toward development of novel therapeutics.

Message

I am very honored to receive the Inamori Foundation Research Grant. As a medical scientist, using adipocytes as a model system, I would pursue both mechanistic insights and clinical significance.
