Graduate of our Utsunomiya Campuswon the Outstanding Presentation Award at the Zoological Society of Japan Kanto Branch Meeting

On Saturday, March 16, 2024, at the 76th Kanto Branch Meeting of the Zoological Society of Japan held at the University of Tokyo's Hongo Campus (Bunkyo Ward), Teikyo University graduate Innami Kana (graduated in 2023) gave a poster presentation titled "Identification and role of CG1677 involved in feminization of primordial germ cells" and won the Outstanding Presentation Award. The society is a historic society that has been held since 1923 with the aim of developing animal science, including systematic taxonomy, cell biology, and developmental biology, and this award was given in recognition of the identification of a new candidate gene involved in the sex determination of germ cells, a subject that remains a mystery.

This research is being conducted in collaboration with the University of Tsukuba under the direction of Ryoma Ota at Faculty of Science and Engineering Department of Biosciences Senior Assistant Professor and is expected to provide new insights into the mechanism by which animal germ cell sex is determined.
