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
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)
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.
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.
