We have
been studying the muscle proteins of invertebrates (such as the
troponin-tropomyosin system). However, we started biochemical research on
jellyfish proteins six years ago when a student who was interested in jellyfish
came to study with us.
The jellyfish is a very attractive research subject:
● Many things about jellyfish remain unknown, although it looks like a simple
animal.
● Depending on the species, jellyfish can be cloned and its
breeding and maintenance are easy.
If you are interested in protein research or like jellyfish, would you like to
study in our laboratory?
The description of the course is slightly biased, but
please contact us at tanaka-h@fish.hokudai.ac.jp if you have
any comments, suggestions, or questions.
