Tatsuya Tsukahara is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, University of Toronto. His research interests focus on bioinformatics, epigenetics, functional genomics, gene regulation, imaging, and neuroscience. Tsukahara's work investigates how peripheral sensory neurons adapt their gene expression and responses over both short and long timescales, focusing on the molecular mechanisms that integrate neural activity and gene expression. By utilizing mouse models and advanced techniques, including live imaging and optogenetics, his lab aims to uncover how these adaptations affect neural circuit functions and behavior across various conditions. Tsukahara's pioneering studies contribute significantly to the understanding of the relationship between sensory processing and behavioral responses in health and disease.
