Welcome
We use state-of-the art techniques and a variety of model systems to study the operation, evolution, ecology, and development of life. This knowledge can be applied to solve health issues, manage food and natural resources, and protect the environment, making a major contribution to human society.

MOLECULAR NEUROSCIENCE (Kanae Ando, Taro Saito, Akiko Asada)
What molecular mechanisms support brain function? Is it possible to halt the decline of brain function due to aging and diseases such as Alzheimer's? We address these questions using biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology techniques.
CELL BIOLOGY and BIOCHEMISTRY (Hiroyuki Kawahara, Tetsuhisa Otani, Naoto Yokota)
Cell-cell interactions are crucial for tissue homeostasis. Intracellular proteolysis in mammalian cells is also important for viral immunity. Why don’t you try to discover new cellular machinery with us?
NEUROBIOLOGY (Adam Z. Weitemier)
Behavior is an important outcome of the biological activities of the brain. We study the connection between brain physiology and behavior. This may help us understand the mechanisms of behavioral disorders.
