Depew Peter Holland Thurston Lacalli Filippo Rijli Yoshiko Takahashi Hiroshi Wada   Sayuri Yonei-Tamura received her bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from Tohoku University (the last in 1997), and has remained at the same institution as a postdoctoral fellow to present. She received a long-term JSPS fellowship for her studies from 1997 - 2000. Her work originally focused on apical ectodermal ridge and the developing chick limb bud, and has expanded to include additional areas of vertebrate limb development, including left-right asymmetry, positional identity and evolutionary aspects of the specification and determination of limb identity.   Tamura Koji received his B Sc, Master's degree and doctorate from the Tohoku University Faculty of Science. In 1994 he was named assistant professor at Tohoku University , where he served until 1997. He spent the period from 1998 to 1999 at the Salk Institute with the support of a JSPS foreign research fellowship, before returning to Tohoku University as an associate professor. His lab focuses on limb development and regeneration in vertebrates . Program
