Research

Research interests

Our research group focuses on various aspects of embryogenesis - including normal embryo development and environmental impacts on embryogenesis such as pollution and infection. We use a variety of embryo systems including zebrafish, Arabian killifish, mangrove killifish, knifefish, aquatic gastropods and bivalves.

Research projects

Current research projects in our group:
Zebrafish (Danio relio):
- Developing biosensor transgenic fish models that can detect environmental pollutions (e.g. estrogens, heavy metals and other oxidative stressors, carcinogenes, alcohol).

Arabian killifish (Aphanius dispar):

- Developing a model fish embryo system for infection studies under human body temperature.

Mangrove killifish (Kryptolebias marmoratus):
- Developing the self fertilising mangrove killifish as a model for developmental biology
- Behavior studies on the mangrove killifish

Aquatic gastropods and bivalves:
- Molecular mechanisms of shell formation

- Impact of Fukushima Daiich nuclear leak to the rock shell.

Teaching

I teach Developmental Biology. I am interested in embryology, evolution and genome biology. In my lectures, I include the latest findings in the research fields. I also aim to discuss with students about philosophical and ethical aspects of biological science that include topics for human cloning, birth control, gene therapy and genome analyses.
