Welcome to Cell Structure and Function Ⅱ, Sato and Takagi Lab

A research into understanding the mechanisms inherent in a living organism to adapt to multiple environmental stresses is carried out here.

Our lab introduction movie is available from YouTube channel of the Graduate School of Life Science (2024 March).
