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.
PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND PHYSIOLOGY (Takashi Okamoto, Toshiko Furukawa, Atsuko Kinoshita)
How do plant fertilization and early development proceed?
What are the barriers to interspecific hybridization, and how to overcome them?
We approach these questions and possibilities using the unique technique called "In-vitro fertilization system.”

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.
