Research Project Outline
This study aims at (I) elucidation of molecular mechanisms of changes in transcriptional programs during cell reprogramming, (II) understanding of transcriptional programs in cell differentiation processes, (III) establishment and molecular analyses of automated programs for transdifferentiation, and (IV) analyses on the action mechanisms of transcription factors and the molecular mechanisms of epigenetic regulation. Thus, this study will provide molecular bases for generation of various tissues and organs from iPS cells.
