Dr. Kyojiro Ikeda

I was trained in the lab of Prof. Graham Warren, FRS, at the Max F Perutz labs in Vienna in Austria. There, I worked on the inheritance of flagella, using Trypanosoma brucei as model organism. I joined the Freeman Lab in January 2014. I am a Maria Skłodowska-Curie Fellow and Junior Research Fellow of Wolfson College at the University of Oxford. Most of my work is dedicated to expand our mechanistic and cell biological understanding of the active rhomboid protease, RHBDL4. In my research, I tend to combine biochemical top-down and bottom-up approaches to descriptive cell biological techniques, such as light and electron microscopy.
