Laboratory for
Epigenome Inheritance
RIKEN IMS, Yokohama, Japan
Welcome to Azusa Inoue Lab at RIKEN at Yokohama, Japan. We are studying egg-mediated epigenetic inheritance in mammals. Please contact me if you are interested in joining us. *There is NO open position for short-term internship students.
