Chihaya Yamada is an assistant professor at Laboratory of Enzymology in Department of Biotechnology, Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, The University of Tokyo located in Tokyo, Japan. I obtained Ph.D degree in Department of Biotechnology, The University of Tokyo in 2013. I contributed to structure analysis of lacto-N-biosidase (LnbX) from Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum belonging to GH136 with Prof. USER:Shinya Fushinobu and Prof. USER:Takane Katayama. My reseach interests are new enzymes from Human gut microbiota.
