I then earned my Ph.D. (Science) in March 2026 under the supervision of Professor Shigeru Yanagi at the Graduate School of Natural Science, Gakushuin University.<br \/>\nDuring my time in the Yanagi Laboratory, my research focused on the analysis of organelle contact sites, with a particular emphasis on<br \/>\nmitochondria. Although mitochondria require iron for energy production, the detailed mechanisms of its supply have not been fully understood. I discovered that the regions of close proximity between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) play a crucial role in supplying iron to mitochondria, and I have been working to elucidate the underlying regulatory mechanisms.<br \/>\nMoving forward, in collaboration with Professor Sekine and our students, I aim to clarify how organelles coordinate with one another<br \/>\nwhen cells respond to stress, as well as to uncover the regulatory mechanisms mediated by endogenous small molecules, such as iron<br \/>\ncomplexes.<br \/>\nI want to share with our students the fascination of unraveling the intricate mechanisms that maintain cellular homeostasis and the phenomena occurring within cells at the molecular level. I am committed to fostering an environment where students can truly experience the joy of scientific research.<br \/>\nJust as organelles cooperate and function harmoniously within a cell, I hope to advance my research through active collaboration with many faculty members and colleagues.<br \/>\nI kindly ask for your guidance and support, and I look forward to working with you all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Hijiri Oshio, and I assumed the position of Assistant Professor at the Laboratory of Organelle Sign [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notice-en"],"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35900"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35900\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35901,"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35900\/revisions\/35901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pharm.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
