Doctor Tomokazu Murakawa

King's College London, London (United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland)

Tomokazu Murakawa is a research fellow at the King’s College London, UK. Tomokazu obtained his MD in 2003 and worked as a clinical cardiologist for six years. He received PhD in 2015 at Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan. During his PhD, he had been identifying a novel mitophagic receptor protein and found that Bcl-2 like protein 13 (Bcl2-L-13) is a mammalian homologue of Atg32 which is an essential protein for mitophagy in yeast. Tomokazu’s main research interest is the role of mitophagy in the pathogenesis of heart failure.
