Recruitment of Ph.D. students
We are seeking motivated students who are interested in the mystery of correctness of development. Successful candidates will be persons who are interested in mouse embryogenesis and/or intercellular communications, e.g. Hippo signaling, cell competition.
We use both mouse embryos and cell culture systems for our research, but research experiences with these experimental systems are not required.
Ph.D students from overseas are strongly encouraged to think of applying financial support from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT Scholarship).
