Research Interest

As a molecular biologist and orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Asahara's research focuses on examining the precise mechanism of chromatin-dependent gene regulation related to limb development. Combining these new findings in molecular and developmental biology, with clinical research in the field of locomotive science, our aim is to develop innovative new therapies that will benefit patients with arthritis, bone tumor and spinal cord injuries.
