Sachiko Homma Takayama, PhD, is a Research Assistant Professor of Neurology at the Boston University School of Medicine. For her research, she has received funding from many organizations including Friends of FSH Research for researching the roles of molecular chaperones and the ubiquitin-proteasome system in skeletal muscle diseases. She has made new discoveries in the medical field including having identified a new pathway of myogenic cell death in myofibrillar myopathy.
