Noriko Miyake, MD, PhD., Postdoctoral Fellow
Noriko Miyake joined the Engle Lab as a postdoctoral fellow in April 2005. Noriko comes from Nagasaki, Japan where she obtained her MD from The Nagasaki University School of Medicine in March 1999. Following 3 years of clinical work, specializing in pediatrics, Noriko was a graduate student at the Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences from April 2002-March 2005, working under the supervision of Prof. Noriko Niikawa and Prof. Hiroyuki Moriuchi. Her research examined the genetic basis of congenital abnormalities that include Kabuki make-up syndrome, Sotos syndrome and mental retardation. In the Engle lab, Noriko will be undertaking linkage analysis to identify genes that cause strabismus.
