Naoki Irie

Naoki Irie is a researcher at the University of Tokyo, working as an associate professor. After receiving Ph.D. in Medical Science from Kyoto University (2008), he worked for Congenital Anomaly Research Center at Kyoto University (~2009), where he learned human congenital anomalies. He moved to the laboratory for Evolutionary Morphology at RIKEN CDB as a postdoctoral fellow in 2009, and continued his work on clarifying how the relationship between animal embrogenesis and their evolution can be formulated. In 2013, he has established his research group in Tokyo.

His recent studies have revealed that not the earliest, but intermediate stages of development, show the highest conservation in gene expression profiles, lending support for the 'hourglass' model. His research goal is to elucidate how animal embryogenesis biases or limits their evolutionary diversity.
