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
MATHEMATICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY (Koichiro Tamura and Yuuya Tachiki)
Our research focuses mainly on the evolution of organisms using mathematical and computational approaches. The mathematical approach involves mathematical analyses of life phenomena and molecular and evolution using mathematical models, and the computational approach involves large-scale data analysis utilizing rapidly advancing computers and bioinformatics.
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.
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.
