WELCOME TO YAMANAKA LAB
My research aims to understand the concepts shaping live-organisms. I am interested in cellular shape, genome, development, evolution and cancer.
My motto is
Don't be afraid of challenging the dogma
and being a minority.
We cannot conceive what we do not know. A real unknown is revealed only after its discovery. Stay humble and be curious. Logical thinking alone never takes you there. Without imagination, science will be boring.
Justifiable importance is not so important retrospectively.
Logic has a limit but Curiosity does not.
Stupidity and courage are all what you need for creativity.
RESEARCH PROJECTS
Our current interests (May 2022)
Development is a series of nested self-organizing processes. So is Cancer.
Why does a frog egg always develop into a frog, but not a snake?
