Research Interests
Tissue formation in multicellular organisms is achieved by the differentiation of individual cells into a various cell. This process requires an appropriate differentiation program from stem cells or progenitor cells as a starting point to final differentiated cells. In our laboratory, we are investigating the mechanism of this differentiation program at the single cell level by focusing on tissue-specific chromatin structures.
