I am interested in understanding the relationship between the evolution of cell systems and the diversification of animal body plans. To address this issue, I have focused my efforts on investigating the ancestral and derived states of cell-cell junction and the ancestral and derived mechanisms of body pattern formation taking advantages of the insect and spider arthropod models.
