The Kaji group aims to understand the mechanisms of reprogramming induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to improve the technology as well as to apply the knowledge to generate different cell types.

Aims and areas of interest:
Recently a technology to generate pluripotent stem cells from differentiated somatic cells has been developed using defined factors. However, the biological mechanism underlying the process of reprogramming has not been elucidated at all. Our group aims to understand the mechanism of the reprogramming, improve the technology and enable to control cell fate.
