In recent years, the field of reproductive medicine (e.g., infertility treatment, older childbearing) has become more important due to the declining birthrate and later marriages, and reproductive biology has also contributed greatly to the development of these fields. Uncovering and understanding the underlying mechanisms of living organisms is an important step toward the applications that will follow. In other words, reproductive biology is an important discipline that provides the basic information for applied research.

A long time ago, endocrine disrupting hormones (environmental hormones) became a social concern. Although less of a concern today, the issue still remains a major concern in the field of reproductive biology. It has been pointed out that environmental hormones have adverse effects on the reproductive organs of organisms and, in extreme cases, can be critical to the survival of the species. However, when it comes to the question of how these substances disrupt reproductive functions, it is difficult to answer correctly. The main reason for this is that many of the fundamental issues in reproductive biology remain unanswered.

We are always thinking about what we can do now for the future, 100 or 200 years from now, as we conduct our daily experiments. 

We are welcome curious young researchers who are willing to conduct research with us.
