Research Interests

We are interested in developing novel mouse modeling techniques to clarify genetic variants and their functions in genetic diseases. By introducing human genetic variants into mouse, we establish gene-edited mouse models that recapitulate patients’ phenotypes to analyze the etiology of diseases such as heritable metabolic diseases and infertility. Also, by optimizing gene editing methods in mouse models, we try to develop safe and efficient strategies to cure hereditary metabolic diseases.
