KATO YUZURU

Organization
School of Biological and Environmental Sciences Associate Professor
Research Fields, Keywords
RNA Biology, Oogenesis, Primordial follicles, Live imaging
Teaching and Research Fields
We aim to understand mammalian oogenesis. Particularly, by using mice as a model, we focus on the development of primordial follicles, a finite reservoir of egg in mammalian ovaries, from the aspect of genetics, RNA biology, and live imaging.
