A lab that contributes to understanding higher-order biological phenomena in humans through genetic analysis of mice.

AboutAbout the lab
Contributing to understanding higher-order human biological phenomena through mouse genetic analysis.
The Department of Laboratory Animal Science conducts research using mice, aiming to contribute to understanding complex higher-order biological phenomena in humans.
Most human diseases arise from the complex interplay of many genes and environmental factors.
In humans, it is difficult to examine individual factors in detail, but in mice, genetic and environmental factors can be tightly controlled and analyzed.
The lab's research challenges are developing and breeding disease models of glucose and lipid metabolism disorders and parasitic infections.
Key terms
- Forward genetics
- An approach that identifies the causative gene using differences in traits as a clue
- Disease model
- A laboratory animal that shows a condition resembling a human disease
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to contribute to understanding complex higher-order biological phenomena in humans by using the latest mouse genome information and systematic genetic analysis methods that are possible only in mice. Specifically, its task is to develop and breed disease models of glucose and lipid metabolism disorders and parasitic infections, and to analyze their causative genes using forward genetics approaches.
