Kei Sakamoto receives award from the American College of Sports Medicine
Kei Sakamoto, a programme leader in the MRC Protein Phosphorylation Unit, received New Investigator Award from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) in May 2008 at the annual meeting of ACSM in Indianapolis, USA.
This award is intended to 'recognize new investigators who, as a consequence of their educational background/training and quality of initial independent research productivity, have begun and are likely to continue to make a significant contribution to knowledge in basic or clinical exercise science or sports medicine.'
Commenting on the Award, Kei said:
'I am very happy and honoured to have received this award. It is particularly memorable as ACSM is the first international conference I attended after I finished my Masters degree in exercise physiology in Japan. I will continue to work on exercise physiology and identify the molecular signalling mechanisms by which exercise controls key metabolic processes in muscle.'
