About

We are studying the evolution of animal multicellularity in
Prefectural University of
Hiroshima, with the PI Dr. Hiroshi Suga. Over 700 million years ago, a unicellular protist
acquired a simple multicellular system, which later on evolved to the
overwhelmingly complex and diverse body plans of the extant animals. What
was the molecular background of this innovation?
