Welcome to the Kurokawa Lab
At Kent State University in Ohio, a major goal of our lab is to understand the mechanisms that regulate tissue development and cellular homeostasis. Why does a normal healthy cell become cancerous? How can cancer cells acquire drug resistance? How does dysregulation of a gene cause a disease? We employ mouse models together with molecular and biochemical techniques to tackle these questions.
Our lab embraces diversity and inclusion as essential and fun elements of a research team. We are committed to building and maintaining an environment free from any forms of discrimination, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, color, primary language, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital or parental status, appearance, socioeconomic status, dis/ability, veteran status, political ideology, or any other variables based on an individual’s self-identification.
Our lab welcomes students and postdocs from all backgrounds!
EAT.
PLAY.
