AboutAbout the lab
Exploring cell fate through the genome and epigenome
The Nakatani Higher-Order Life Dynamics Lab is an endowed research division established at the Medical Institute of Bioregulation, Kyushu University.
Principal Professor Yasuyuki Ohkawa specializes in epigenetics, genome regulation, chromatin biology, stem cell biology, and trans-omics medicine.
Prof. Ohkawa develops and applies genome and epigenome analysis technologies to elucidate the mechanisms of cell fate determination, tissue homeostasis, aging, regeneration, and disease onset.
In recent years, Prof. Ohkawa has been advancing research on muscle stem cells, immune cells, and hepatocytes using spatial omics and 3D genome analysis.
Key terms
- Epigenetics
- The field that studies the mechanisms that switch gene activity on and off without changing the DNA sequence itself
- Epigenome
- The collection of marks and states across the entire genome that regulate gene activity
- Spatial omics
- Analysis that comprehensively examines gene activity and other molecular features while preserving positional information within a tissue
ResearchResearch themes
Prof. Ohkawa's researcher profile describes research that develops and applies genome and epigenome analysis technologies to investigate the mechanisms of cell fate determination, aging, regeneration, and disease onset. The research field is listed as genome biology.
