Research theme
Tada Group
Determination of the cell fate is epigenetically regulated through activation or repression of specific genes. Rewriting of information on epigenome is capable of reprogramming of cell, and anti-aging of body. Our aims are understanding of their molecular mechanisms, and development of application technologies.

Chuma Group
During development of multicellular organisms including mammals, genetic stability is differentially regulated depending on developmental stages, cellular lineages and physiological conditions etc. We are investigating (1) how pluripotent stem cells and germline cells, which constitute the germline stem cell cycle, maintain or diversify their genome and epigenome information, and (2) how the genome and epigenome control of the germline-stem cell cycle is coordinated with developmental programs. We also aim to identify genes and pathways with which the genome integrity of stem cell resources can be improved in vitro and in vivo.
