We said goodbye to beloved Hyman lab postdoc Yusuke Toyoda last week, as he left Dresden to return to his new job as a Research Associate at the Institute of Life Science at Kurume University in Japan. During his time in the lab, Yusuke was an author on a dozen publications, including key work on transgeneomics, the MitoCheck consortium, cell rounding, and last year’s highly publicized paper on DJ1 and Parkinson’s disease.
Yusuke requested German food for his goodbye dinner, so we went to Augustiner at the Frauenkirche. We’ll miss you, Yusuke, and we hope you come back to visit again soon!
