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.

Research Laboratories
DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY (Kimiko Fukuda, Naohito Takatori)
Our laboratory is dedicated to identifying the molecular/genetic basis of the developmental program for chordate embryos and understanding how the developmental program is executed during the course of development from a single cell, fertilized egg to the adult form with functional tissues and organs.
EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS (Aya Takahashi, Masafumi Nozawa)
Our goal is to understand the mechanisms of evolution at the level of genes and genomes. To achieve this goal, we integrate various approaches including field collection, molecular biology, and bioinformatics.
SYSTEMATIC ZOOLOGY (Katsuyuki Eguchi)
The Earth is an extremely rich and diverse organism, and there is still plenty to discover. We study various terrestrial invertebrates such as bees, beetles, spiders, centipedes, and jassids. We are studying species diversity (including describing new species) and the evolutionary history of these organisms.
