What we study:
The major research subject performed in this research group is to compare and elucidate the mechanisms underlying oogenesis in various aquatic vertebrate animals including fishes and primitive vertebrates; to achieve this subject, we utilize advanced life science techniques such as immunobiochemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology. We also perform applicable studies based on the basic sciences on fish oogenesis, such as 1) development of a molecular delivery system into eggs, 2) monitoring endocrine disrupting pollution in aquatic environment, 3) development of techniques discriminating species of fish eggs, 4) development of techniques discriminating fish genders, 5) improvement on the offspring production in fishes.
Our experimental species varies: from primitive vertebrates to advanced fishes
