A cooperating chair studying RNA and gene expression, including a method to join DNA quickly and cheaply.
AboutAbout the lab
Making tools for handling genes easier to use
Gene Expression (Kitabatake Lab) is a cooperating chair of the Department of Biological Sciences in the Graduate School of Science, run by Assistant Professor Makoto Kitabatake of the Virus Infection Research Division at the Institute for Life and Medical Sciences.
Assistant Professor Kitabatake conducts molecular biology research on the mechanisms by which RNA and proteins are produced.
The lab recently developed a method that uses purified factors to join DNA quickly and inexpensively.
