Outline

Various ions are closely reated to a huge variety of physiological phenomena. If we can control these ions, it would provide large insights for the biological study and elemental technology for medical application. In this study, I will develop new optogenetic tools based on photoreceptive microbial rhodopsins in order to selectively control the ions in vivo.
