AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how animals take shape, using spiders
The Biohistory Lab (Oda Lab) studies the mechanisms of cells and morphogenesis, centered on the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum, at the JT Biohistory Research Hall.
Parasteatoda tepidariorum is a model organism that the lab pioneered.
By comparing with insects and vertebrates, the lab explores the fundamental principles underlying animal diversity.
The JT Biohistory Research Hall accepts graduate students as a collaborative chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University.
