 ine\, Chiba University and joined RIKEN in 2001.\n\nResearch:\nThe Develop
 mental Genetics Research Group is pursuing a research program to elucidate
  the epigenetic regulation of organ development and stem cell functions by
  Polycomb group (PcG) proteins and DNA methylation mechanisms.\n\nMain Res
 earch Subjects:\n•	Regulation of large scale chromatin structures by Pol
 ycomb\n•	Chromatin dynamics associated with activation of Polycomb-repre
 ssed genes\n•	Development for anti-tumor immunotherapy by using iPSC-der
 ived NKT cells\n
