Hirono Suzuki

I am a PhD candidate and senior engineer at Algal division. My PhD research primarily focus on physiology and glycerolipid biochemistry of microalgae in response to abiotic stressors with the goal of understanding how lipid biosynthesis functions across diverse species. My research also extends to the taxonomical, physiological, and biochemical characterization of algae isolated from red-snow algal bloom in Northern Norway. I engage in both in the field and laboratory experiments, working with a variety of microalgae found in marine to freshwater environments, and intend to address questions that have practical applications as well as fundamental scientific significance.

In addition to the research project, I am responsible for culture maintenance and regularly supervising students in the microalgae lab. I have supervised 3 master students for their thesis as well as interns/bachelor students.
