Join us
The Takeuchi Laboratory welcomes new members with interests in angiosperms, sexual reproduction, pollen tubes, fertilization, embryogenesis, cell-to-cell communication, receptor signaling, chromosomes, centromeres, genome editing, live imaging, and biotechnology.
Even if your background does not perfectly align with these keywords, we are happy to support individuals who bring original ideas and scientific imagination—especially those who are eager to pursue fundamental biological principles through plant-based research grounded in logic and curiosity.
We especially welcome those who wish to explore and expand on the central themes of our lab—focusing on the mechanisms that underpin the success and evolution of plants. Whether you aim to deepen your own interests and expertise through related topics, or wish to develop a broad foundation that goes beyond traditional boundaries of biology and plant science, you will find a supportive environment here.
Our lab emphasizes logical thinking, the ability to put ideas into action through experimentation, and above all, the nurturing of individual creativity. We are committed to fostering a research and educational environment where you can experience the true joy of science—sharing your own discoveries with the world.
