Kei Hashimoto, PhD

Postdoctoral Fellow

I majored in Cell Biology and completed PhD in Ochanomizu University, Tokyo, Japan. Over there, I studied the functions of vitronectin, one of the cell adhesion proteins, on the development of cerebellum and the recovery from brain injury with Prof. Yasunori Miyamoto. In Huang Lab at UCSF, I am interested in learning how glial cells affect the neurodegeneration. In my spare time, I like traveling and going to restaurants.
