STATEMENT OF RESEARCH INTERESTS
Our research focus on hematopoiesis covering basic and translational research areas, including gene regulation in normal vertebrate hematopoiesis, molecular basis of human blood diseases. In particular, we aims to develop zebrafish model into a comprehensive in vivo modeling platform for translational medicine, from functional evaluation of disease-related genes to large-scale chemical screening for novel therapeutic agents.
