Research

 

The Wakamoto lab is aimed at gaining deep understanding of general biological phenomena such as growth, adaptation, evolution, and differentiation, utilizing model cell systems (bacteria, yeast, and cancer cells).

Biology is diverse, but also full of common properties and rules across the species. We investigate the origin and the biological significance of those commonalities both theoretically and experimentally, hoping to provide some comprehensible foundations for modern biological studies.
