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
ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY (Shin Haruta)
Our planet is home to an enormous number of microorganisms. Most of them remain undiscovered and their functions are unknown. We are exploring novel microorganisms to clarify the microbial diversity and the roles in the natural environments.
PLANT ECOLOGY (Jun-ichiro Suzuki)
Our research aims to understand the various ecological phenomena involving plants at various temporal and spatial scales. In addition to field research (e.g. Northern Yatsugatake Mountains), we also focus on experimental research using greenhouses, fields and growth chambers, and theoretical studies.
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.
