Biological Design Unit
The Biological Design Unit investigates what determines biological forms by untangling the evolution of structural functions and organismal development in the changing climate.
Naomi Nakayama
Professor
Integrative Community Ecology Unit
Our unit employs theory-informed experiments, genetics, and mathematical models to identify how species interactions vary over time and space to influence ecosystem dynamics and functioning.
David Armitage
Assistant Professor
Microbial and Ecosystem Ecology Unit
Our unit focuses on understanding how environmental changes impact soil microbes, particularly those that are symbiotic with or pathogenic to plants, and drive biogeochemical cycling.
Chikae Tatsumi
Assistant Professor
Plant Epigenetics Unit
The major goal of our research is to understand biological significance of epigenetic regulation of genes and transposons for environmental adaptation and genome evolution in plants.
Hidetoshi Saze
