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 ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSES (Takeshi Kanegae, Rei Narikawa)
How do the photosynthetic microorganisms sense light information? We will answer this question by performing basic studies using photobiological methods, which will lead to develop optogenetic and bio-imaging tools.
ANIMAL ECOLOGY (Adam L. Cronin and Yu Okamura, Isaac Planas-Sitjà)
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.
