Hajime Itoh
Ph.D. : Postdoctral Researcher
Meta-population dynamics, tidal flat ecosystems, Magnetotactic bacteria
Message： I aim to isolate and culture diverse Magnetotactic bacteria from marine sediments. -
Youta Sugai
Ph.D. : Postdoctral Researcher
Marine microbial ecology, Biogeochemistry
Message： I am interested in microbial communities in the ocean surface layer, especially in the Sea Surface Microlayer (SML), which is located at the top layer of the ocean. -
Chunqi JIANG
Ph.D. : Postdoctral Researcher

Kento Tominaga
Ph.D. : JSPS Research Fellow (PD)
Microbial Genomics, Marine Microbial Ecology, Marine Molecular Microbiology
Message： I study marine bacteria and viruses, exploring a wide range of phenomena from the function of individual genes (proteins) within cells to their ecological roles on a global scale. My research focuses on connecting these different levels using genomic and metagenomic data, combining both experimental and computational approaches. -
