Information
Our Yokohama City University opened a new post-graduate course 7 years ago, named Graduate School of Medical Life Science. I have my own laboratory in this course, owing to many supports from many people in the institution. Itfs a small lab but I hope many students to have interest in my research and join us.
Welcome greeting
The life lasting from generation to generation depends on the reproduction, generation of a new life, which is brimmed with many mysteries. The sprout of a new life grows marvelously to born and to grow further. On the other hand, every each life has a destiny to get old and die in the end. We only have to accept them as “destiny”. Nonetheless, it is a joy to do research on them struggling agaist and hoping to overcome them.
In our laboratory, we do research on reproduction and tissue engineering, aiming to elucidate mechanisms of the reproduction and development, having a dream in minds to apply our achievements in future medicine.
For all that, our daily life is nothing but one like those in an ordinary small laboratory. We just do research step by step, day by day, and keep enjoying it.
