Research Staff

Research Activities

The focus of the Section for Studies on Metastasis lies in the development of novel animal models, methods, and strategies to study tumorigenesis and metastasis, including oligonucleotide cancer therapy. The specific activities were as follows: 1) Atelocollagen-mediated RNAi therapy against cancer in animal models; 2) differentiation of endodermal cells (hepatocytes and pancreatic cells) from stem cells; 3) studies for establishment of rat embryonic stem (ES) cells; 4) In vivo bioluminescent imaging.
