松本（ウチャル） ハサン

I had my PhD in Tokyo Institute of Technology studying actin regulation in cellular division. Then, I joined Haruo Kasai group in The university of Tokyo for studying actin-related regulation of dendritic spine size. I am worked on how spine enlargement effects on presynaptic potentiation and showed that presynaptic terminals have a mechanosensation system responding to spine enlargement upon learning stimuli (Ucar et al., Nature 2021). We coined mechanical transmission as a new synaptic transmission mechhanism.

Now I am working in the external innovation department of a world renown company Boehringer Ingelheim, aiming at bringining extraordinary research findings from Japan to drug development for the patients in need.
