Overview

Ryohei Yasuda is affiliated with the Max Planck Society in Germany. Their research primarily spans the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Neuroscience, with a focus on Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Cognitive Neuroscience. Their work encompasses various relevant topics including Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research, Photoreceptor and Optogenetics research, Retinal Development and Disorders, Cancer-related molecular mechanisms research, Neural dynamics and brain function, Memory and Neural Mechanisms, and Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy Techniques.

Yasuda has published extensively, contributing to journals and platforms such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Science Advances, Nature Neuroscience, eNeuro, and eLife. Key recent papers attributed to Yasuda include:

  • CaMKII: a central molecular organizer of synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, 2022, Nature Reviews. Neuroscience

While the other papers in the recent data are led by different authors, Yasuda's collaborations span well with researchers including Anant Jain, Yoshihisa Nakahata, Hirofumi Nishizono, Isabel Espadas, and Sathyanarayanan V. Puthanveettil.

Their research explores synaptic plasticity and molecular processes underlying memory and learning, as indicated by work focusing on signaling pathways like CaMKII and synaptic structural changes. This is reflected in recent studies published in high-impact neuroscience and molecular biology journals. The diverse range of topics addressed in their publications also indicates interdisciplinary involvement with aspects of cancer research and advanced methodological techniques in microscopy.

Yasuda was awarded the status of Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 2006.
