DirectorYoichiro Iwakura


The Center for Experimental Medicine was established in April, 1998. It consists of three laboratories, Laboratory of DNA Biology and Embryo Engineering, Laboratory of Celluar Biology and Laboratory of Gene Expression and Regulation, restructured from the Department of Vaterinary Medicine and the Department of Oncology. The operation of this center is carried out with the Laboratory of Experimental Animals, since all the four laboratories share the closely related jobs such as the instruction of the handling of animals, teaching how to make the schedules of animal experiments and how to perform the experiments, operation and management of the animal center, etc.
The Center for Experimental Animals will be working for ten years from the establishment and will have to be renewed in 208.
The purposes of the center are to develop animal models for human diseases and to analyze those models. For accomplishing these purposes, we try to devise the animal experimental systems by developing the embryo engineering technologies as well as recombinant DNA technologies that link the genome science and genome medicine.
