Current research activities

Molecular and genetic approaches for the mechanisms underlying embryo development in livestock animals.
Comparative study on species-specific differences in mammalian development and differentiation.
Maternal and fetal recognition mechanisms of pregnancy in cattle.
Improvement of developmental competences and cryosurvivability of mammalian oocytes and embryos.

Our goal is to design novel reproductive technologies that contribute to a stable food supply, food safety, and eventually promotion of human
