日本語で表示I am now interested in both of the fundamental and practical researches of conservation genetics/epigenetics, especially the relation between methylation and aging/other physical changes. Also with the background of ecology and social psychology, I hope to be an interdisciplinary researcher who is able to joint different fields to solve conservation problems in the future.
