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
MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY (Koichiro Tamura and Yuuya Tachiki)
Our research focuses mainly on the evolution of organisms using mathematical and computational approaches. The mathematical approach involves mathematical analyses of life phenomena and molecular and evolution using mathematical models, and the computational approach involves large-scale data analysis utilizing rapidly advancing computers 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.
SYSTEMATIC BOTANY (Koji Takayama and Hidetoshi Kato)
We study biodiversity of wild plants. We explore what kind of species grow on Earth, how they have evolved over time, and how they grow and reproduce in nature. Our research area also contributes to their conservation.
