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.
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.
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.
