Researcher Profile & Settings

Research

Overview of research:

Our research focus is on the relationship between the oviduct, which is the first microenvironment we experience, and mammalian embryos, with a particular interest in signal transduction via Cys-loop receptors (Nishizono et al, Reproduction 2020). We are also working on the development of genome editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 (Nishizono et al, Molecular Brain 2021).
