The lab uses Daphnia to explore the relationship between the environment and life from the genome.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how the environment and life are connected.
The Life and Environmental Systems Engineering Lab (Watanabe Lab) aims to clarify the relationship between life and the environment and to apply this to solving environmental problems.
Living organisms have a hierarchy of molecules, cells, tissues, individuals, and populations, and this lab studies the relationship between biological systems and the environment at the molecular and individual levels.
Through this research, the lab aims to create methods for quantitatively evaluating the effects of the environment.
Key terms
- Genome
- The entire set of genetic information an organism has. This lab studies how environmental changes act on the genome.
- Microarray
- A tool that can analyze changes in the expression of 10,000 genes at once.
- Knockdown
- Temporarily stopping a gene from functioning. It is used to confirm whether a gene is essential for the response to the environment.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to clarify the relationship between the environment and life at the molecular and individual levels, and to establish quantitative methods for evaluating environmental impact. Its research is presented in three areas: "Environment and Genome," "Environment and Reproductive Strategy," and "Environment and Risk Assessment."
