Environmental systems biology Project

The field environment in which organisms naturally grow is a very complex environment in which temperature, light, and surrounding organisms fluctuate spatio-temporally. Unlike a uniform lab environment, research in a real environment as complex as the field is involved in a variety of difficulties. However, it is essential for the basic and applied sciences to study under the real environment. Our goal is to understand, predict and control responses of organisms to real environments. We are tackling these matters employing various cutting-edge technologies: omics analysis of thousands of samples, informatics, growth chambers reproducing complex environments and integrative analysis of omics data and meteorological data.
