I am interested in understanding the relationship between the evolution of cell systems and the diversification of animal body plans. To address this issue, I have focused my efforts on investigating the ancestral and derived states of cell-cell junction and the ancestral and derived mechanisms of body pattern formation taking advantages of the insect and spider arthropod models.

I am interested in early embryogenesis of animals. Now, my study focuses on periodic stripe formation in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum.

I'm interested in the segmentation of arthropods. I want to elucidate the mechanism of segmentation mainly by using single cell RNA sequencing.
