Scholar-generated biography
Daisuke Kurokawa is a researcher specializing in developmental and evolutionary biology, with a focus on developmental genetics and evolutionary developmental biology. His work explores the molecular mechanisms underlying cell differentiation and patterning during embryonic development, particularly in the context of neural and sensory organ formation. Kurokawa's research integrates studies of model organisms such as sea urchins and mice to investigate gene regulatory networks and their evolutionary conservation. His publications highlight the role of transcription factors, microRNAs, and signaling pathways in developmental processes, including the regulation of Otx2, a key gene in forebrain and midbrain development.
