About the Lab
We investigate muscle development, signaling and maintenance, by studying the biological role of sarcomeric and muscle associated proteins. We are particularly interested to decipher molecular mechanisms that play a role in the development of cardiac and skeletal muscle myopathies.

- October 2022: Very excited to share data on the Obscurin x Obsl1 double knockout mouse model at the 2022 EMBO metabolism workshop in Malaga! Great work by Dr. Fujita and our collaborators.
- October 2022: After 15+ years at at UC San Diego, I am excited to announce that the lab will transition to the Department of Biomedicine at Aarhus University. We will continue our quest to discover molecular mechanisms for sk.muscle and heart development, and for the aetiology of myopathies in both places, at UC San Diego and Aarhus University. Join the team in Aarhus: seeking postdocs & PhD students starting from 2023 onwards.
- September 2022: Kyohei presents the obscurin/Obsl1 double knockout model of diastolic heart failure at the 70th Annual Scientific Session of the Japanese College of Cardiology in Kyoto, Japan.
- September 2022: Our preprint describing how ‘combined loss of obscurin and obscurin-like 1 in murine hearts results in diastolic dysfunction, altered metabolism and deregulated mitophagy’ is finally out at BioRxiv.
