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.

Characterization of eye developmental pathways.
The microarray analysis of zebrafish eye tissues reveals interesting signaling pathways and transcription factor families that give insights on the subcuits of the gene regulatory networks of eye development.

Staying in Asia for many years has given me the opportunity to get close to wildlife on many occasions. This female Smith’s green-eyed gecko chose to live on one of the chalets next to my home, taking advantage of the insects attracted by the lights at night.
Deep-sea glass squid(Teuthowenia pellucida) The glass squid, Teuthowenia pellucida, an ecologically important Southern Hemisphere deep-sea squid. This species has light organs on its eyes and possesses the ability to roll into a ball, like an aquatic hedgehog. It is prey of many deep-sea fish (eg goblin sharks) as well as whales and oceanic seabirds.
