Profile
Outline Activities
〇Education
Education for international and Japanese students in the international undergraduate program (IUP) at the Faculty of Agriculture and in the undergraduate program at the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation
With the interaction between the environment and genetic information as a key concept, we promote educational activities aimed at fostering interdisciplinary thinking skills in developmental biology, evolutionary biology, ecology, and endocrinology related to the expression of diverse traits in living organisms.
〇Research
The genetic background and molecular mechanisms of the development of sexual characteristics that have led to diverse reproductive strategies in vertebrates and the radiation of diverse species
In particular, we are focusing on the relationship between the expression of various male traits by androgen and genome evolution, as well as the endocrine response mechanisms to developmental processes encompassed in the expression of secondary sexual traits, with a focus on molecular developmental biology.
Message
Many aspects of animal morphologies and reproductive behaviors are regulated by hormones. Our research aims to understand biodiversity by focusing on developmental and physiological phenomena related to hormones and by clarifying the molecular mechanisms behind various biological phenomena.
