About
Dr. Yamada investigates the regulation mechanisms of vascular permeability and angiogenesis based on the polarized trafficking of VEGFR2 by a molecular motor kinesin KIF13B. She was trained by Athar Chishti and then Asrar Malik. She had an AHA Scientist Development Grant, R56 from NHLBI, and is currently a recipient of an R01 award from NEI entitled "Role of VEGFR2 trafficking in pathological angiogenesis in age-related macular degeneration" and the Discovery Boost Grant from the American Cancer Society entitled "Developing preventive strategy for uveal melanoma metastasis."
