Xenogeneic chimeras might be thought unrealistic animals which are appeared in computer games and SF cartoons. However, recently, they are used as a tool of the study of life science by the progress of the developmental engineering.
As a researcher, I also aim to study leading to the future using developmental engineering.
Assistant Professor Syunsuke Yuri
My research goal in this lab is to make a functional organ by using Xenogeneic chimera.
Students
M2 Koki Murata
After graduating from university, I entered NAIST to study again after 3 years of working. I would like to gain knowledge and skills from my research and studies and use them for my personal growth.
M1 Kohei Kitamuro
During my undergraduate years, I was interested in biodegradable plastics and studied polymers. By acquiring knowledge and skills in other fields, I want to become a person who can judge things from all angles.
M1 Yoshiki Nakayama
I have been involved in research using mouse embryos and pluripotent stem cells. Life sciences have evolved remarkably in the last few decades and further research is accelerating. My goal is to contribute to new discoveries in this laboratory. I will continue to pursue the latest knowledge and experimental techniques and focus on basic research.
M1 Yamato Murata
When I was in junior high and high school, I became interested in regenerative medicine with the topic of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). I wanted to pursue research in this field in university, so I studied using embryonic stem (ES) cells during my undergraduate years. However, as I learned more, I realized that regenerative medicine was not the dream technology where organs or missing limbs could be easily restored, as often featured in the news, but rather a field that is still developing. At that time, I was shocked by a lecture on regenerative medicine using interspecies chimeras, and that was the reason why I chose this laboratory. Through my research activities, I hope to acquire knowledge and skills and fully enjoy my graduate school life.
