MOLECULAR NEUROSCIENCE (Kanae Ando, Taro Saito, Akiko Asada)

How does the brain work? How to protect the brain health as you age?
We tackle these questions with biochemical and molecular biological approaches. Findings from our work can help understand age-associated brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY (Kimiko Fukuda, Naohito Takatori)

CELLULAR GENETICS (Takaomi Sakai, Satomi Takeo, Tsunaki Asano)

How is animal behavior controlled by the brain?

MOLECULAR GENETICS (Shigeki Ehira, Ryudo Ohbayashi)

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?

CELL BIOLOGY and BIOCHEMISTRY (Hiroyuki Kawahara, Tetsuhisa Otani, Naoto Yokota)

私たちが生きる仕組みとは？タンパク質の分解から理解する！

EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS (Koichiro Tamura, Aya Takahashi, Masafumi Nozawa)

Our goal is to understand the mechanisms of evolution at the level of genes and genomes.
