About

Takahiro Yamashita is a Senior Lecturer at Kyoto University in Japan. His research focuses on the molecular diversity of opsins and their functional roles in various vertebrate species, as evidenced by his recent publications. His work includes studies on UV-sensitive vertebrate non-visual opsins, visible light-sensitive opsins in deep-sea shrimp, and photoreception mechanisms affecting hormone release and pigmentation.
