Citation: Haruna Sugahara is a postdoctoral researcher at Department of Biogeochemistry at Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). She completed her Ph.D. at Graduate School of Environmental Studies at Nagoya University, Japan. Her research interest is organic molecules in extraterrestrial materials, especially their link to the origins of life on the early Earth and other extraterrestrial bodies. Her current research is to clarify stable isotopic fractionation mechanisms of organic molecules in interstellar clouds and the early solar system.
