| Comments | A multicellular organism develops from a single cell-a fertilized egg. During animal development, cells that divide repeatedly change their position and shape, and adhere to form an individual body plan. This process is mediated by multiple extracellular matrix components. To clarify the mechanism and evolution of animal body plan, I am investigating the function of novel extracellular matrix in morphogenesis and its conservation and diversity. I would like to contribute to the elucidation of the pathogenic mechanism of diseases that result from the disruption of the extracellular matrix environment. I am also a member of the committees on gender equality at a university and academic societies. |
