2024Inamori Research GrantsBiology & Life sciences
I'm great honored to receive generous support for my research as Inamori Research Grants. I would like to develop a versatile genomic humanization technology and contribute to advancement of medical and life science research.
This study was conducted with the aim of developing a fundamental technology for the versatile generation of full-length gene humanized mice. The applicant devised a method using two-step genome editing for ES cells, and succeeded in developing full-length gene humanization technique targeting a 200 kbp length, which covers 93% of all human genes. In addition, this method induced humanization with an efficiency of about 10-15% at all gene loci tested, which is more than 50 times higher than previous reports.
