The strength of our laboratory lies in the collaboration of the following four faculty members who are dedicated to both research and education. This allows the students to learn and incorporate techniques from molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and physiological ecology into their research.

• Dr. Ryouichi Tanaka
• Dr. Atsushi Takabayashi
• Dr. Hisashi Ito
• Dr. Kiyomi Ono

We believe that correctly elucidating natural phenomena is of primary importance in natural science. Our aim is to teach students to think deeply and logically, and to carefully uncover the mechanisms behind biological processes. Since all of these processes are interconnected in various ways, it is also important to learn how the biological processes you are researching are connected to other processes.
