研究内容について
遺伝子改変技術で未知の遺伝子機能の解明や疾患の克服に挑戦します。
１．遺伝子改変動物の作出
新たな遺伝子を持たせたトランスジェニック動物や、
特定の遺伝子を欠損したノックアウト動物を作出し、
未知の遺伝子機能を探索します。
２．生殖器におけるFXRの機能解明

生殖器における機能を探索します。
３．神経変性疾患モデルマーモセットの作出
現在、根本的な治療法がない神経変性疾患のモデル動物を作出し、
治療薬や治療法の確立、疾患バイオマーカーの開発を目指します。
４．成体卵巣内の未発育卵胞培養法の確立
胎子や新生子の未発育卵胞の培養に成功していますが、成体動物
卵巣内の未発育卵胞を発育させる技術は未だ確立されていません。
成体卵巣の未発育卵胞培養技術が確立できれば、家畜の増産や
改良、絶滅危惧種の保全や遺伝子資源の確保に貢献できます。
５. ヒト生殖医療への貢献
女性不妊の原因として、早期卵巣機能不全（POI）や
多嚢胞性卵巣症候群（PCOS）が挙げられます。
基礎研究で得られた成果を展開し、生殖関連疾患の治療へ応用を目指します。
