● Makoto HAYASHI Assistant Professor
Research Interests: Molecular and Cellular Biology
Research Topic: Chromosome instability during telomere crisis stage in human somatic cells
Short Introduction
Makoto has been interested in various things in the world in his boyhood, probably thanks to his name “Makoto”, which means “Truth” in Japanese. He was attracted by reading of many different aspects of biology in his high school days, which has led him to the biology field. After all, he has chosen to major in molecular genetics, the methodology of which best fitted to his temperament. DNA, a genetic determinant of the traits of an organism, exists as chromosomes in a cell. During the Hakubi project, he will use the latest skills of chromosome editing to answer the following fundamental question: how are chromosomes maintained in an organism and what kind of influence will be brought to a cell when the maintenance fails.
