Our division teaches anatomy of the viscera and sensory organs, histology, embryology, and neuroanatomy to first- and second-year medical students. Our research has long centered on histological approaches using advanced electron microscopes at the Advanced Imaging Research Center. Since Professor Yuichi Shima became chair in October 2021, we have expanded our molecular studies of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, spleen, and gonads by combining histology with gene-regulatory analysis, genome editing, next-generation sequencing, and single-cell technologies.
