Recent Activities
Tumor suppressor protein p53 skillfully utilizes multiple functions to act as a guardian of genome. Using fluorescence microscopes developed by us, we aim to elucidate the molecular mechanism of its function by imaging the processes in which p53 searches for and binds to specific DNA sequences.
