During cell proliferation and differentiation, many genes function in proper timings, but biological clocks that regulate these timings remain to be analyzed.

We have been elucidating that the transcription factors Hes1 and Hes7 function as ultradian clocks and that there are other ultradian oscillators, but their whole picture is not known.

In this research project, we will make and evaluate mathematical models and elucidate the mechanism of ultradian oscillators and their roles in cellular events.
