Areas of specialization
Laboratory/research office Molecular Developmental Biology Laboratory
In animal development, cells divide and subsequently differentiate into diverse cell types in a spatio-temporally controlled manner, which results in formation of tissues and organs. Our group investigates the molecular basis underlying these processes by focusing on gene regulatory mechanisms. Our research utilizes Danio rerio, a small tropical fish known as zebrafish.
