KS is a neurogeneticist based in Japan. My research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying innate behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster, with particular emphasis on how neural circuits are shaped and modified by gene-environment interactions.

To elucidate these mechanisms, I employ a multidisciplinary approach that integrates molecular biology, electrophysiology, and machine learning-based analysis of animal behavior.
