"Raise new questions, explore new possibilities, regard old problems from a new angle. "

 

This is a quote from Professor Albert Einstein, and this is what my lab members and I do. We identify new biological questions that may have a profound and potentially long-lasting impact on our fundamental understanding of how our universe works. We also explore various areas of biological science to identify "interesting but confusing" phenomena, and we will devise new scientific methods to further scientific explanation. Furthermore, we re-evaluate various long-standing central dogmas either with a different mind-set or by using different methods.

 

Tom Sato's lab uses both vertebrate and invertebrate models, as well as bacteria models in combination with the state-of-the-art tools from physics, mathematics, engineering and chemistry to tackle very difficult but unusually high impact interdisciplinary questions that cannot be categorized in the conventional life science fields.  Anyone who wants to take a major challenge in life, but potentially highly rewarding, is welcome to join my laboratory.
