Biography

Various physiological functions equipped in our bodies are possible because cells and tissues interact with each other to construct highly organised organs that are more than just an aggregation of cells. Signaling by extracellular secreted factors plays central roles in this cellular organisation throughout life stages including early embryogenesis, organogenesis, organ function and homeostasis, and gamete production and reproduction.

I have studied the developmental and physiological roles of secretory factors and the extracellular environment in which they function using a variety of approaches such as biochemistry, cell and developmental biology, and genetics including genome editing.

Recently, based on the discovery of lumicrine, a novel secretory signalling system that functions in the lumen of the reproductive tract (Kiyozumi et al., Nat Commun. 2023; Kiyozumi et al., Science. 2020), I have focused on the elucidation of the molecular mechanism of lumicrine, lumicrine-based diagnosis of male infertility and development of male contraception targeting lumicrine signalling.
