Hiroshi Hamada

Hiroshi Hamada is a professor in the Graduate School of Frontier Biosciences at Osaka University. His laboratory uses the mouse system to study embryonic patterning and organogenesis. Prompted by the finding of Lefty, a left-right asymmetrically expressed TGFβ member, his group has been investigating how body axes are established. Hiroshi received his M.D. and Ph.D. from Okayama University in Japan, and worked in NIH/USA and Newfoundland/Canada for 9 years. His interest in development stems from earlier work on embryonal carcinoma cells performed in Canada. His current interests are the mechanism of symmetry breaking and the origin of body axes.
