Molecular Genetics, Ecology and Evolution of Symbiotic Interactions
Organisms have evolved to adapt a variety of biotic and abiotic environments on earth over their long evolution time.
Symbiosis, including "parasitic," "mutualistic," and "predatory" relationships, are sophisticated phenotypes that are essential for maintaining the health of ecosystems.
Human activities can disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems, leading to devastating problems such as pest outbreaks and species extinctions that can quickly spread across borders.
Our laboratory is dedicated to discovering new phenomena and abilities that enable organisms to adapt to their environment.
To understand the mechanisms and evolution of these phenomena, we use molecular genetics. Our research aims to provide fundamental insights into the problems that we are currently facing.
