Research Keywords
Hunting novel biofunctions, Visualization, Gut microbiome
Application Fields
Primary industries, Pest management, Biomimetics
Skills
Microscope observation (LSM, SEM), Omics analysis, Genetic manipulation (Insects, Bacteria)
We aim to clarify the community structure of the intestinal microbiome of mainly agricultural pests, as well as to elucidate host-microbe interactions by genetic manipulation of host insects and gut microorganisms, and to develop new pest control technologies and thus contribute widely to primary industries.
