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
CELLULAR 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?
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 BOTANY (Koji Takayama, Hidetoshi Kato, Tao Fujiwara)
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.
