Cell Physiology

We are interested in how simple organisms sense the external stimuli or how movements of the simple animals are regulated. The aim of our research is to explore the life activity from the stand point of such simple curiocities.

Two projects listed below are the main objectives in our lab.

　　　Chemosensory transduction mechanisms of a ciliate Paramecium.

　　　Regulation mechanisms of tentacle movements in Noctiluca.
