Dr. Tetsuhiko Sasaki
Tamagawa University, Tokyo, Japan.
Tetsuihiko Sasaki conducts leading research into Wolbachia genetics. Researchers in Sasaki’s laboratory use molecular techniques to gain insight into how Wolbachia interacts with its host. His research team, in collaboration with Dr Fukatsu, will be undertaking research to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of Wolbachia-mediated life-shortening in insects.
