Biography

Ryuichi Fukuda is a Lecturer in Cardiovascular Science at King's College London, having received his PhD from the Tokyo University of Science and completed postdoctoral training at the National Institute of Genetics in Japan. He then joined Didier Stainier's lab at the Max Planck Institute in Germany. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling cardiomyocyte identity, differentiation, and dedifferentiation. In 2022, Ryuichi established his own research group at King's College London. His laboratory employs a variety of model systems, including zebrafish, mice, and human-induced pluripotent stem cells, to address critical questions in cardiovascular science. Ryuichi's goal is to develop new therapeutic approaches for heart disease, with a keen interest in the roles of signaling pathways and mechanical forces in cardiomyocyte development and tissue regeneration. He is also involved in organoid research, which relates to regenerative therapies for heart conditions and understanding disease mechanisms.
