Keita Mori
Keita Mori is a postdoctoral fellow working with Prof. Ronald Raines in the Department of Chemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He completed his Ph.D. degree at The University of Tokyo, under the supervision of Prof. Mitsuhiko Shionoya, where he studied dynamic control of DNA structures and functions using metal-binding artificial nucleobases. Then he moved to Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology as a JSPS postdoctoral fellow and worked with Prof. Takahiro Muraoka to develop copper-responsive disulfide compounds for promoting oxidative protein folding under metal stress conditions. He is currently studying chemical handles to enable intracellular delivery of pharmaceutical peptides at MIT. His research interest focuses on synthetic material design for controlling dynamic processes of biomolecules such as protein folding, intracellular transport, and metallation/demetallation.
