The Cellular Biochemistry Lab studies how placental stem cells differentiate and how gene function is regulated. The mammalian body develops from a fertilized egg, and cells, influenced by their surroundings, differentiate into specific cell types. The lab focuses on the placenta, an organ characteristic of mammals, and conducts basic research on the differentiation of its stem cells. The lab is also studying the mechanisms of RNA splicing and "RNA diseases," which arise from defects in splicing and related processes.

The Applied Genetics Lab studies how the ovaries of mammals develop and how sperm are produced. Using techniques from reproductive engineering and developmental engineering, the lab introduces genes into eggs, sperm, tissues, and whole animals to examine gene function and its regulation. This approach of deliberately altering genes to investigate their function is called reverse genetics. Undergraduate students from the Major in Animal Life Sciences and the Major in Veterinary Medical Sciences, and graduate students from the Department of Animal Resource Sciences, belong to the lab.
Akira Uematsu, Associate Professor

The Uematsu Lab uses animal models to study the brain mechanisms involved in learning and memory. The lab aims to uncover how the brain works as animals learn in response to pleasant and unpleasant stimuli. It also studies how learned memories are updated so that animals can adapt when the environment or conditions change. The lab's faculty member is a Senior Researcher at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and concurrently serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Resource Sciences at the University of Tokyo.

The Radiation Animal Science Lab creates animal disease models to study how diseases arise and progress. Its subjects range from allergic diseases such as food allergy, asthma, and atopic dermatitis to the growth and metastasis of cancer. The central theme is clarifying how lipid mediators regulate inflammation and applying this knowledge to treatment. The lab was founded after the Great East Japan Earthquake to investigate the effects on the body of long-term exposure to low-dose radiation.

The Veterinary Ethology Lab studies the natural behavior of mammals, working with laboratory rats, wild brown rats, and household animals. In its rat research, the lab investigates the pheromones used for communication with other rats. For wild brown rats, the lab studies both individual animals in the laboratory and groups in their actual habitats. For household animals, the lab uses epidemiological methods to identify the factors that matter for preventing problem behaviors and improving the quality of veterinary care.

The Applied Immunology Lab uses the methods of immunology to study protozoan diseases, which are infectious diseases caused by protozoa. Its main targets are leishmaniasis and toxoplasmosis. Beyond analysis of genes and cells, the lab's research takes in infected animals and patients, and the field sites where the diseases are spreading. The lab also conducts a great deal of international collaborative research with researchers overseas.
Keitaro Yamanouchi, Professor

The Animal Resource Science Center, affiliated with the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Tokyo, breeds strains of production animals and laboratory animal resources and manages their husbandry. It produces and raises livestock, mainly horses, cattle, pigs, and goats, and also grows the forage crops used as their feed. It is a place where students of veterinary medicine and applied animal science gain hands-on experience in production animal clinical medicine and livestock hygiene. It also conducts demonstration research on maintaining the health of production animals, evaluating the safety of livestock products, and animal-assisted therapy.

The Animal Nutrition Lab searches for new feed ingredients for rabbits, cattle, pigs, and chickens, and investigates how useful they are. In recent years, the lab has focused on research on using insects as feed and on searching for ingredients that improve the gut environment and antioxidant capacity of animals. In addition to digestibility trials and component analysis, the lab evaluates ingredients with methods such as metabolome analysis and metagenomic analysis. The lab is located inside the University Farm in Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture, and students commute to the farm to conduct their research.
