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
MOLECULAR GENETICS (Shigeki Ehira, Ryudo Ohbayashi)
Some microorganisms can survive in harsh environments that other organisms cannot inhabit. We study the mechanisms of how such microorganisms acclimate to extreme environments.
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.
ANIMAL ECOLOGY (Adam L. Cronin and Yu Okamura)
The Animal Ecology lab at TMU uses experimental, observational, and theoretical approaches to investigate the behaviour, ecology and evolution of animals and animal-plant interactions.
