Kousuke Mouri, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Associate
I'm interested in non-coding regulatory sequence which relates to human disease and diversity.
After getting Ph.D with Drosophila studies, I moved to National Institute of Genetics in Japan and started to study mouse genetics. In my post-doc study, I got interested in non-coding regulatory sequences.
In JAX, I want to decipher the mechanisms how the change of regulatory sequences cause human disease.
