Research projects in the Matsuoka Lab aim to decode genetic programs controlling vascularization, vascular cell diversity, and barrier integrity in the central nervous system. We employ advanced genetic, imaging, and omics approaches to dissect these developmental mechanisms using the zebrafish in vivo model combined with human-derived endothelial cell culture in vitro. Our goal is to discover novel molecular targets from our basic science research and translate this knowledge into developing therapeutics that can repair vascular and neural abnormalities in neurological diseases.
