RNA Society Poster Presentation Prize
RNA Society Poster Presentation Prize is given to a researcher who made an outstanding poster presentation in the 28th Annual Meeting of the RNA Society (RNA2023).

About awarded research
“Structural insights into the decoding capability conferred by tRNA hypermodifications”

This study describes how tRNA modifications control the decoding of genetic information through structural analysis using cryo-electron microscopy.

Your impression & future plan
I am honored to be awarded this prize and grateful to Suzuki Lab members and my collaborators for their support. I will continue to work hard to clarify the novel functions of tRNA modifications.
