Yukiko Yoshida
Yukiko Yoshida received her PhD from the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Tokyo. Subsequently, she conducted postdoctoral research in glycobiology at RIKEN. Since 1997, she has been working at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science, where she currently leads a Laboratory of Protein Metabolism. Her group focus on glycoprotein-specific ubiquitin ligases, which play a crucial role in diseases resulting from aberrant glycoprotein metabolism. They are also identifying drugs that modulate the activity of these ligases and studying the dynamics and functions of the proteasome and ubiquitin ligases under conditions of cellular stress.
