| After receiving doctoral degree at Department of Biophysics, Kyoto University, Yoshiko Takahashi pursued consecutive postdoctoral fellowships in developmental biology at the Institut d’Embryologie du CNRS, France (1998 to 1991), the University of Oregon Institute of Neuroscience (1991 to 1993) and Columbia University (1994). She returned to Japan at Kitasato University in 1994, where she worked as an associate professor until 1998, when she took an associate professorship at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology Graduate School of Biological Sciences. She was appointed team leader at the RIKEN CDB in 2001. Her current research interests center on the mechanisms of body patterning using early chicken embryos, with a special focus on the molecular mechanisms by which dynamic cell behaviors are regulated, including the
formation of boundaries between tissues, epithelial-mesenchymal transitions, directed cell movements, and cell condensation. |
