Research Statement
Since graduate school, Dr. Yamazaki has researched one of the most urgent issues in medicine: the outbreak of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. She discovered a critical mechanism that epigenetically controls bacterial behavior, promoting bacterial adaptation in a hospital environment. She now focuses on the host's immunological reaction in the skin to deepen the understanding of infection immunity.
