Research Keywords
Comments In my research, I am interested in genome editing technology, protein engineering, and fluorescence imaging technology, with the aim of creating functional proteins that have never existed before, which will lead to developing new screening technologies and research methods using these proteins. Genome editing technology can rewrite genes that can be used in various organisms, and is expected to be applied in various industries such as medicine, agriculture and livestock industry. We expect that the development of more accurate and safer methods will lead to a wider range of applications.
