About
Keisuke Morichika is a Research Fellow in Dr. Kirino's laboratory since 2014, specializing in developmental biology with emphasis on germline cell specification and piRNA mechanisms.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of Hyogo where his doctoral research investigated Notch signaling in Xenopus laevis primordial germ cells, discovering that Notch signaling disturbances cause germ cell mislocalization. His postdoctoral work focuses on Oct60 transcription in oocytes and its role in primordial germ cell formation.
His core research areas include: Developmental Biology, Germline Cell Specification, piRNA Mechanisms, Notch Signaling, Primordial Germ Cells, and Transcription Factors.
Dr. Morichika actively contributes to Dr. Kirino's research program on germ cell development and molecular mechanisms in model organisms.
