眼の進化と生物多様性を研究しています。
The eye is one of the most elaborate organs in animals and the study of its evolution is of particular interest. It has been difficult to understand how this complex organ arose. Molluscs provide a good example of the application of evolutionary genomics, as all eye types have evolved in one lineage.
